Page types

The page type determines whether and how a page appears in the navigation, and whether and how its content elements are displayed. You can select the page type when creating a page with “Create new Page”.

 

Page type "Standard"

This is the most commonly used page type. If no other options, such as “Page visible = off,” are set, this page will be displayed in the frontend menu bar (navigation bar). One or more content elements can be added here. 

 

Page type "Shortcut"

This page redirects to another page within your website. This is usually used to refer to the first subpage of a menu item when it has no content itself.

 

Page type "Link to External URL"

This allows you to add a link to an external website to the page. Such links are marked with an icon in the menu bar. 

Page type "Folder"

The Folder page type is not displayed in the frontend menu bar and cannot be accessed (no link possible). If a folder has subpages, these can be accessed. Content elements placed directly in a folder can only be displayed by reference.
