Hidden Pages

You can hide a page from your main navigation, from users altogether, and even from Google.


There are three things you need to do if you want to create a hidden page.

1. Remove the Page from Your Navigation

Hiding your page from the site’s navigation also removes the page from your sitemap.xml.

Go to Page Settings, find In Nav and choose No.

In nav no.png?ixlib=rails 2.1

2. Add a Meta Tag

Go to Page Settings, click Advanced, and paste the following into the Head Injection field.

<meta name="robots" content="noindex">

This tells search engines not to index your page.

3. Disallow in Robots.txt

From the Dashboard, click on Settings, and scroll to Robots.txt. Modify the URL in code below and paste it in to your Robots.txt, then click save.

Disallow: /page-slug

Example

Disallow: /how-to/hide-a-page-from-search

This is another method for telling search engines not to index your page. It is important to employ both methods.
