Simple Hidden Page on WordPress | WordPress Development

wordpress hidden page There may be times when you want to create a hidden page on your WordPress website; one that won’t be included in your main navigation. For example, maybe you are sending out direct mail with a special promotional offer. You want the recipients of the direct mail to be able to go to a special page on your website to claim that offer or get more information, but you don’t want all random visitors to your website to be able to claim the offer. Simple!

In this case, you can create a page on your website that is not in navigation so it can only be accessed by the public if they know the URL (example: www.johnswebsite.com/specialoffer). To ensure exclusive access, only for those you invite, you want to create a ‘hidden’ page. This is very simple to do and actually involves fewer steps than it takes to add a new page to your main navigation.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Log in to your WordPress website and access your dashboard.
  2. Under pages, select ‘add new’.
  3. Create your new page, complete with title, content, images, and lead capture forms (if you are using any).
    Be sure to edit the permalink (directly under the page title) to be an exact match of the URL you may include in your marketing materials.
  4. Once you have finalized your page, hit ‘publish’ in the upper right-hand corner.
  5. To access this page, users will need to enter the exact URL address you specified for the page. For that reason, you may want to keep it short and sweet. You can access this page at any time by going to your dashboard and selecting ‘all pages.’
