Private Pages

  • I’m webmaster for a non-profit site. They have a PayPal DONOR button on the site and when someone makes a donation, they want a page to come up that says THANK YOU! I created a private page so that it won’t show up in the menu. When I type in the URL for the page it comes up for me, but the person who handles the PayPal account can’t make it work. It comes up with the 404 error. Is a PRIVATE page not the answer? Is there something easier I can do.

    I set up private pages in another site and they don’t work either. Is a private page one that only I, as administrator can see? I don’t know what the point of that would be.

    I think I’ve figured it out on my own. I want to share what I did in the event that anyone else is struggling with this. I made the page public. I then went into Appearance > Menus and selected the tab at the top that says Manage Locations. I set that menu as the Main Menu. I hadn’t done that so the site was relying on some default menu. I then went back to the tab for Edit Menus and took out the page that I didn’t want to show up in the menu. Presto. It worked. I just had forgotten to set the menu as the main menu. Simple.
