FAQs
Why doesn’t the homepage appear in the navigation?
The homepage is typically accessed by clicking the website logo, so it is often not included in the menu by default.
Can I include the homepage in the menu?
Yes. Simply enable Show in Menu for the homepage.
Does hiding a page delete it?
No. It only removes it from the navigation menu.
How do I completely remove a page?
Turn the page off in Advanced Settings.
