Showing and hiding#

A page out of the menu is not hidden from the world: anyone with the address still sees it. That is deliberate, and useful for offer pages, thank-you pages and anything reached by a link rather than the menu.

If a page should genuinely stay out of search engines too, that is the Hide from search engines switch on the same page, under Search engines.

Click anything on the page to change it. With nothing selected, these settings belong to the whole page.

Step 1 of 3

Show in the menu

Off, and the page keeps working at its address for anyone with the link, just unlisted.

Reduced motion is on, so the walkthrough waits for you. Use the arrows or pick a step.

Good to know: A page with no menu entry and search hiding is effectively private by obscurity, which is not the same as private. Use staging for anything confidential.

Common questions

Can the menu have a page that does not exist yet?

No. The menu is built from real pages, so create the page first, even empty, then it appears.
