How do I create a 'new page'

ashlynelizabeth / 2013-09-26 23:36:10   

I'm not sure why I am having so much trouble with this - I'm assuming the answer is extremely simple.

My site is libramix.org - I want to create a new page that isn't accessible via the home page. So, I would like to have libramix.org/… (or similar) bring up a completely new page without the image I have embedded in the pre-nav text.

I thought making a new section might be the answer? I made a new section with the folder name 'newpage' but libramix.org/… gives me a Not Found error.

Thanks in advance!

The image in your pre-nav text is for all the pages in your site.
To have this different on different pages you need to propably use css and customize things (coding skills are needed)

But I don't understand why you can't create a libramix.org/…
Have you enabled Clean URL's using the instructions in the Help section on the left?
Can you set Publish to On for this section?

Okay so the pre-nav text image is another story. Good to know.

I have enabled clean URL's using the instructions but it still doesn't seem to be working. Spoke to my host (dreamhost) who said "mod_rewrite" should be enabled for my account. Changed htaccess to .htaccess, changed the options.php file and even added the slash to the .htaccess file.

Just to go through step by step to be sure:

I go to Admin/Sections/Create new section

I name it "newpage" and folder name "newpage"

Click update.

Hide section is Off
Section organization Default
Password section Blank
Section objects Exhibits

I turn publish On
I turn Hide from Index to On

Shouldn't I now be able to go to libramix.org/… ? I get a 404 error.

www . libramix . org / newpage

404 means that the page is not there...
Can you leave it so we can see a link in the index?

Okay I changed the name of our "test section" from newpage to libramix. It is visible in the index.

I can't see any visible sections/exhibits in the #index area.
Make sure it's published and non hidden.
