ArtSites Updates

Disabling & "Simplifying" Your Menu

One of the main reasons behind our recent software update is that we're standardizing our system so that we can easily add new features and layouts in the coming months.

As part of our update, our long-time artists may have noticed that "News" changed to "Blog" in your Admin Panel. This change was made to make sure our Admin Panel names are consistent for everyone.

(You can always change the Menu name back to "News" if you want by typing in a new name in the "Menu Name" area and hitting the "Rename" button - see image above.)

However, if you "disabled" your "News" page, the new "Blog" page may not be disabled because of this name change. Please check your website to make sure your "Blog/News" page is properly "disabled or enabled".

How to Disable Any ArtSites Webpage
Speaking of which, we strongly recommend that you "disable" any web pages that you aren't using.

To do this, just go to your Admin Panel and click on the tab with the name of the page you'd like to disable and click on the "Disable This Page" button (see below).

Some of the pages you may want to disable are Blog, Links, or Events (if you're not using them). This reduces the number of links in your navigation menu and means your visitors only spend time on pages with interesting content.

Please note that you can re-enable these pages at ANY time! Disabling a page just "hides" it until you're ready to use it.

Disabling your pages simplifies your menu and makes sure your visitors don't waste time clicking on pages with nothing to see! ;-)
