Manage page visibility by enabling or disabling them on your site. Pages are automatically enabled when created, making them visible to visitors and search engines.

Pages may be automatically disabled when:

  • Content is imported from other services (blog posts, products)
  • Your legacy plan's page limit (20 pages) is exceeded

How to Enable a Page

  1. Open the Pages panel
  2. Hover over the target page and click the settings icon
  3. Toggle "Enable Page" on
  4. Click Save

Important Considerations

  • Disabling a collection page also disables its items (blog posts, products)
  • Disabled collection content may still appear in summary blocks or gallery blocks
  • For store pages: Disable individual products to remove them from existing shopping carts
  • Portfolio sub-pages cannot be disabled individually
  • Dropdowns cannot be disabled directly; disable contained pages instead

Alternative Ways to Hide Pages

  1. Not Linked Pages: Keep pages active but hidden from navigation
  2. Password Protection: Restrict access while maintaining navigation visibility
  3. Noindex Tag: Hide pages from search engines while keeping them accessible to visitors

Disabled pages remain visible in your admin panel but are hidden from public visitors and search engines.
