Is it possible to create stand alone pages that are invisible in rest of site?

  • Hello there,
    I have got a friend who is programming some ‘tell a friend’ script for my wordpress site, and people are going to be rewarded with a bonus gift in return for telling their friends about the site.

    I want to redirect them to a page, within the site preferably, where I can host the Free bonus gifts, but I am unsure how to do this.

    Can you please help me and tell me how we can redirect people to a ‘secret’ page for them to claim their free bonus gift.

    I appreciate your prompt help on this matter.

    Thank You

  • What about using a password to access that Page and then hand out the password?

    Or, if you don’t like that, then when you list the pages on your site, assuming you are using the template tag, wp_list_pages(), make use of the exclude parameter to exclude your super-top-secret Page.

    There are some plugins for this — not sure whether they have been updated for use with WP 2.5, so you’ll have to check.

    Don’t have the time right now to find the links, but a few of the plugins I know about are:
    Page Restriction Plugin
    Post Levels
    Disclose Secret
    Members Only

    Most of these work on the idea that certain pages/posts are accessible to only certain logged-in users — they vary in how that is implemented, and whether or not the link to the “secret” page is visible or not. I have actually used more than 1 on the same site because I wanted certain features of more than 1 plugin.

    Useful keywords for searching for such plugins — “restriction” “members only” and “access”.

    It definitely can be done. I have it on my blog. I didn’t code the template, so I don’t know if this is normal or not. But I can go into the theme editor, then into the header. Once in the header there were a list of links that displayed in my top menu bar. I can add or delete the links I don’t want to display.

    Hope that helps. I am a novice at this and have a question I am hoping some expert will respond to, but no help yet.
