Making a private page

I want to make a page that only some people have a link to. For instance, if i want to send out an email that has a "gift" of a specific product at a special price, I want that page to be hidden from others who go to the website. Therefore, I don't want the page to show in the directory. So can I include a link in my email blast that goes just to that page? Or, I have a newsletter that requires a subscription. Can I have the newsletter on a page that is not in the directory, and then I send out a link to subscribers and they can go to the page by clicking on the link? |

There is a checkbox in the Page inspector which, if unchecked, will remove the page from the navigation menu. You should also paste this... <meta name="robots" content="no index"> into the Head Code box in the Page inspector to stop the page being indexed by the search engines. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Thank you, Roddy, but you are not understanding my question. I have already taken it off the navigation menu, but I need some sort of link so that someone other than me can find the page. I don't want casual visitors to the site to see these special offers and perks, but only people that I designate. Therefore, I am not putting them on the navigation menu. So, I am sending out a blast to just special people. I want them to be able to have a link or url on the blast that takes them to my hidden page. I can't find any indication of how anyone can find a page when it is hidden and not part of the navigation menu. Is there any way to do this? It is somewhat common, I think, especially for sites where there are members and non-members, or wholesale customers and resale customers, to give two examples, where you want some people to be able to see certain pages, and others not. Thanks again for giving it a try! |

Yes, of course you can.... Enter the url of your website + name of that page... For example: www.mywebsite.com/nameofprivatepage

| I tried that, but since nothing appears at the top of my site, I evidently have the form incorrect. If I try it as you suggest, I just get a 404 page. I think there is a specific format, and what I had hoped was that someone would tell me what it was. Do I used hyphens between words? Do I need to put html at the end? I need that information, and then I hope that will be a success. | |

Sorry, yes, there needs to be html at the end... www.mywebsite.com/nameofprivatepage.html

Look at the name of another page on your site that is not the first page so that you see the url. Then simply change the last thing before .html to the name of the page you need...

Here's some info about figuring out relative and absolute file paths. If you can't get your head around this, include the page in the navigation and publish. Browse to the page and copy the URL. Remove the page from the navigation and republish. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

| Roddy, that's what I finally did. The "secret" was that I had it in a folder, so I had to put the name of the folder, all with hyphens, followed by a slash and the name of the actual page. (followed by html). That worked, and then I removed the name from the navigation menu. Thanks to everyone who helped. | |
