User Pages

Introduction

Pages are organized in a hierarchical format with a homepage and its respective sub-pages. This hierarchical order only applies to the position those pages are seen from left to right in the sub-menu widget. 

Pages that are used as navigational menu items for the header or footer of your website will be managed in the Menu builder.

Watch the video below to learn about how to create and configure user pages.

Accessing User Pages

User Pages tab is where you can create, edit, or delete a page. The User Pages listed here are organized in a hierarchical format with a homepage and sub-pages.

Under Channel Settings in the left menu:

1. Click on Pages and then User Pages

   

2. The User Page screen opens and displays a list of all your pages. When multiple pages are present, they'll be organized in a hierarchy consisting of a homepage and subpages.

Creating a User Page

When you first create a page, it’s disabled by default. That means the page is not viewable on your video platform until you enable it. You may want to leave the page as disabled and then enable it after you’ve previewed your changes.

Before you get started read a few general page rules below

• A page created under a parent page can’t be moved to another parent page.
• A page created under a parent page can’t be converted to a parent page.
• If you have the Multi-Channel feature with your Vidflex plan, you can’t move pages from one channel to another channel.

  Step 2

  Step 3

  In the Parent drop-down, select the parent page under which the new page will be saved.

  Ensure you’ve selected the desired parent page. After you’ve saved the new page, you can’t move it to another parent page.

  Step 4

  Select a template in the Template drop-down. (See User Page templates above for more information.)

  Ensure you’ve selected the desired page template. After you’ve saved the new page, you can’t change its page template.

  

  If you've created a page using the incorrect page template, you can delete the page and then create a new page using the page template that you want.
