Making a page not in menu but permalink can viewed by anyone

  • I created a wordpress site and had 2 pages private. At the time I created them anyone who had the link was able to see the site. Something changed and now any pages that are private can only be viewed by the administrator.

    I need to have a page that does not show in the menu buttons, but is still able to be visible to anyone that knows the link.

    For example I want a privacy policy page. I don’t want this in the menu, but at the bottom of all the pages there is a permalink you can click on to go to the privacy policy page to read it.

  • Hi Kona!

    I did a quick search and it looks like any page that is designated as Private is only visible to users who are at the level of editor or admin. So a regular visit wouldn’t be able to see them.

    What might work is for you to go to Appearance > Menus and select each of your menus to edit. Then uncheck “Automatically add new top-level pages to this menu” (you can see it down at the bottom of the page) and save the menu. That way you can prevent your pages you don’t want in the menu from showing up there. Then, make any page public but simply do not add to the menu.

    Hope that helps and/or you figure out your issue. Good luck!
