Hi,
My website has 7 pages/7 menu’s. I just created a new page that I do not want to show up as a menu on my website so I set the visibility option on the page to PRIVATE. The problem is I want that newly created page to be viewed by anyone that accesses it by the pages link only and I do not want to have that page visible from my website anywhere. I am able to view that page from the my dashboard only as of now if I try to access that page set to private from that pages link it does not allow me to view the page.
Hey Renvato2!
Private posts are only visible to admins and editors. Perhaps your wanting to make it password protected instead?

ElliottHi Elliott,
I needed to create a page that is accessible using the page Link only and whoever arrives to my page from that link needs access without any password or delay. I do not want the page to show any of my website information on it so that is why I have turned off the footer, sidebar and header etc. It is basically a video that needs to play as soon as you click on the link and it cannot have any branding or webpage information at all on it. Also when the page is created it cannot show up on my website as a new menu. I noticed when I set this page to Private it does everything I want it to do except the page link does not work unless you are in the dashboard area. How can I do this without creating a new menu on my website?
Hey!
So basically your just wanting to remove the link to this page in your menu correct? You’ll need to navigate to Dashboard > Appearance > Menu and create a new menu for complete control over what links get added to the menu.
Cheers!
ElliottI have tried to do that before all of this happened but the problem is the only way to add any pages to the newly created menu in the Appearance/Menu area is to first go into the page area and create a new page first but the problem with that is as soon as a create a new page it automatically appears as a menu item on all of my website pages so that’s why I ended up setting the page to Private but then nobody can access it using the link. So please tell me how in detail to create a page that can only be viewed by using a link and I want to make sure that this page does not show up as a menu on any of my website pages.
Hey!
1.) Go to Appearance > Menu panel.
2.) Create a menu.
3.) Set it as Enfold Main Menu in the theme location settings, look for it below the menu editor.
4.) Add the pages that you want to display in the main menu.I think you missed step number 3.
Best regards,
IsmaelWhen I do that it completely removes my current website menus, basically as soon as I create the new menu as “Enfold Child Theme Main Menu” all my previous menus on my website are gone because you can only have one main menu. I am wondering if I need to create a new menu under the Child Theme Secondary Menu? Again what I want is to create a new page for viewing videos that can only be accessed by using that pages link, I do not want the new page that I create to add a menu to any of my existing website pages and I do not want to change or effect my existing website in anyway when creating a new page or a new menu/page etc. I want to make sure nothing changes at all when adding this new page that can only be accessed by anyone using the link. This new page will not have any header, footer, sidebar etc it will just be a plain page for viewing video without any branding of any kind.
Hi!
I’m sorry but I think you misunderstood the concept of the theme location. After creating the menu and setting it as Enfold Child Main Menu, did you add the menu items or pages again? If a theme location is not set, WP will automatically add newly created pages in the main menu. This is your problem at first so in order to fix that, you have to create a menu on Appearance > Menus panel then set it as Enfold Main Menu. This will give you control which menu items to display in the main menu. You have to add the pages or menu items manually.
