Help with creating a page that's not visible on the website but still accessible

    Hey everyone,

    I was wondering if you could please kindly help me out because I am having a problem with our wordpress website.

    In a nutshell, I want to create a page that is not visible on the website, but is accessible to anybody when typing in the URL.

    The only way we have been able to do this at the moment is by making the page a “post” to replicate this, however the URL is not as clean as if it was a page.

    The current url of the page where the data is projected is:
    http://www.americamp.co.uk/2010/10/application2011/

    However, we want the URL to be http://www.americamp.co.uk/application2011/

    however am unsure how to do this without making the page visible on the website (which I don’t want to do)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks guys

    Make it a page, not a post.

    When you make it a post, it shows as domain.com/2010/10/post name

    If it’s a PAGE, it’s just domain.com/pagename 🙂

    Thanks ipstenu

    However we’ve tried that, but it still comes up on the menu bar – which we don’t want it too. Do you know how we can make it a page that doesn’t come up on the menu bar (but is still accessible if people type in the URL specific)

    Thanks again

    You can edit your theme to exclude certain pages from the menu bar. But that’s the best way to do it.

    Take a look in your theme’s header.php for the calls to pages for your menu. Normally, you can add an exclude clause in there, but first we have to find it 🙂
