Want to temporarily hide a page on your event website, but still keep it available? You can hide the page without taking it offline.
You do this by temporarily deactivating the page in the Website Module. The page will no longer be visible in your website menu, but it will remain editable.
Hiding a page
Follow these steps to hide a page:
Go to Website Module > Pages.
Find the page you want to hide.
Uncheck the box next to the page to deactivate it.
The page is now no longer visible on your event website.
Editing a hidden page
Even if a page is deactivated, you can still edit it at any time.
Want to make the page visible again later? Simply check the box again. The page will immediately reappear on your event website.
Using the direct URL of a hidden page
Even if a page is deactivated, you can still use the direct URL of that page or of a file on that page.
This is useful when you want to share information through a direct link only, without showing the page in the website menu.
Example: sharing a speaker presentation by email
Want to share a presentation with attendees after an event through a thank-you email? Use the steps below.
Step 1: Upload the file
Upload the presentation or another file to the Attachments page of the website.
Supported file types are:
.pdf
.doc
.docx
.ppt
.pptx
.xls
.xlsx
Please note: the maximum file size is 10 MB.
Step 2: Activate the Attachments page
Go to the Attachments page and temporarily activate it by checking the box.
Step 3: Copy the direct file link
Open the Attachments page and click the download link for the file. A new tab will open with the direct URL to the file. Copy this URL.
Step 4: Add the link to your email
Select a piece of text in your email and add a hyperlink using the copied URL.
Step 5: Hide the Attachments page again
Go back to the Website Module and deactivate the Attachments page again.
The page will now disappear from the event website menu, while the direct file link will continue to work.
Result
Visitors can open the file directly through the link in your email, without the Attachments page being visible in the website menu.
Tip: you can also use this method for other files or pages that you only want to share with a specific audience.
