Content pages vs. functional pages
Wild Apricot has two types of pages:
- 'Content' pages and
- 'Functional' pages
Page type is selected when you create a page (See How to add web pages) and can not be changed later:


Both types of pages can be moved around the menu, have subpages (child pages), renamed, hidden from public users and members (See Page visibility ), set for public access or to certain member levels only (See Page access).
Content pages can contain formatted text, pictures, links, downloadable documents and third-party widgets (See Extending your website with third-party tools). If you select a content page, you can select one of layout templates
Functional pages are pre-built 'modules' which provide certain interactive functionality. Each module has a specific set of settings which are accessible via [Edit settings] button in the toolbar on that page. The following functional pages are currently available in Wild Apricot:
You can add multiple functional pages of the same type. For example:
- categorize your events into 'social' and 'learning' (See Event categories (tags, labels)) and then create one event list webpage (Publishing your event calendar) with social events and another one with learning events - and a third one with all events.
- add a couple of member directory pages; list only members with 'Sponsor level' in one and 'Regular members' in the other. (See Member directory)
- add a public discussion forum and members-only discussion forum.
- have a public blog and a private blog only for your members.
