There is often a need to create a Content Page that you do not want listed as a Category on your Navigation Bar. This is considered a Hidden Page.
NOTE: Please understand that there is no way to create a Hidden Page that is guaranteed to be 100% private. The Page, though not listed in your Navigation Bar, can still be picked up by the search engines.
See FAQ: Remove Hidden URL and/or Page from Google
Some possible reasons for creating a hidden page:
- Perhaps you want to add your CV (Curriculum Vitae) to a separate page and add a link to the CV onto your Bio Page?
- Perhaps you are teaching a workshop and want to share your Supply List with your workshop participants?
- Perhaps you have a need to add a link to a pdf file for a free ebook?
- Perhaps you are a gallery and need to create hidden pages for the artist biographies and link them to each artist's Collection Description?
- Perhaps you have lengthy stories for some of your art? Adding a short excerpt to the comments section and linking to a Hidden Page for the complete article works great.
- Perhaps you want to offer a Free Print to new Newsletter Subscribers?
