Hiding Pages in Site Navigation

In Sitemonster Pro, you can choose which pages should be visible in your websites menu and which not. The page which you choose to be hidden will be accessible only by clicking a link placed on other pages of your website (or wherever you would like to place it). Note that when a website visitor actually accesses a hidden page it appears in the website menu, and when they switch to another (not hidden) page, the hidden page disappears again.

To hide a page in the website navigation menu, clear the Show this page in site map check box. In the Wizard interface, hidden pages are highlighted with grey colour in the site map and in the website structure on the Pages step. You can hide both first and second level pages.

To understand how hiding pages correlates with pages hierarchy, see the example below:

The website structure looks as follows:

• Page 1
• Page 2 (hidden)
• Page 3
  • Page 3.1 (hidden)
  • Page 3.2
• Page 4 (hidden)
  • Page 4.1
  • Page 4.2 (hidden)

To understand the dependency of pages' visibility and position in the hierarchy, see the table below.

Active Page*	Visible Pages
Page 1	Page 1, Page 3
Page 2	Page 1, Page 2, Page 3
Page 3	Page 1, Page 3, Page 3.2
Page 3.1	Page 1, Page 3, Page 3.1, Page 3.2
Page 3.2	Page 1, Page 3, Page 3.2
Page 4	Page 1, Page 3, Page 4, Page 4.1
Page 4.1	Page 1, Page 3, Page 4.1
Page 4.2	Page 1, Page 3, Page 4.1, Page 4.2

* active page is the page the website visitor is currently on
