Main Navigation creates the primary menu structure of your site, typically displayed at the top. Pages here should represent your most important content that visitors need to access easily. On mobile devices, this menu collapses into a hamburger menu (☰) for better usability.

The Pages panel features several key sections:

Main Navigation

  • Primary website menu
  • Most important pages go here
  • Visible at the top of your site

Unlinked Pages

  • Hidden from navigation menus
  • Accessible via direct URLs
  • Perfect for works in progress or private content

System Pages

  • 404 error page
  • Payment pages
  • Lock screen for password protection

Website Tools

  • Custom CSS
  • Code Injection
  • Announcement Bar
  • Promotional Pop-up
  • Mobile Info Bar
  • Cookie Settings

Key Features:

  • Add pages: Click + at the top of any section
  • Reorder pages: Drag and drop to new positions
  • Edit settings: Hover and click ⚙️ icon
  • Delete pages: Click trash icon
  • Search pages: Use search icon in top-right corner

Tips for Effective Navigation:

  • Keep main navigation clean and focused
  • Use dropdown menus for subcategories
  • Place secondary content in footer navigation
  • Store private pages in Unlinked section

The Trash section retains deleted pages for 30 days, allowing for recovery if needed. If comments are enabled, a Manage Comments section appears for moderating blog interactions.

For member sites, a dedicated Member Sites section appears under Main Navigation, allowing you to manage subscriber-only content and access.


The panel's versatility lets you create an organized, user-friendly website structure while maintaining control over all aspects of your site's navigation and functionality.
