Page visibility

Overview

A page in Wild Apricot can be in one of 3 states:

• Visible in navigation menu - accessible to the public or members only (See Website Pages with Restricted Access)
• Hidden from menu - still accessible to the public or members only via a direct link, see Invisible pages.
• Admin-Only - only administrators can view the page, see Page Management
  • Note, Home page cannot be set with admin only access therefore it will always be visible.

When you open a Wild Apricot account, a number of pages are generated automatically for you based on the selected template (Professional association, Club, etc). Some of these pages are initially set to be admin-only (admin only) and you have to review, edit and make each one visible as appropriate. When you add new pages, visibility is defined in the page creation window (See How to add web pages).

Web Pages View

Admin-only pages are are indicated with a special crossed-out eye icon in the menu:

Page Management View

In Page Management the icons are shown as follows:

In the above example:

• Home -  this page is shown in the menu and is accessible to anyone
• Member-only section - page is restricted and is only visible and accessible to selected membership levels / groups (See  Website Pages with Restricted Access)
• Hidden pages - this page is only accessible to administrators, not shown in the menu
• Member directory - this page is not shown in the menu (since it is a sub-page of an admin-only page), however it is accessible to anyone who know its direct url.

Changing page visibility

• Drag and drop the page to any other location you want e.g. dropping the page directly on top of "Members-Only section" will make it a subpage and restrict it to members only
• Change access to make the page admin-only or accessible to others

• Anybody: Anyone who visits your site can see this page - this option is not available for pages within restricted access section
• Selected membership levels: If the page is within an access restricted section, only members who belong to one of the specified Membership levels can view and access the page - this setting is disabled for non-restricted pages
• Selected groups: Only members in the selected Member Groups can access it - this setting is disabled for non-restricted pages
• Admin only: Only the admin has access and the page will be invisible to everyone else
