The header
Header selection
The header is the top strip along the top of each page. It is a common element that is the same across all pages. When you make changes to anything within the header, it shows across all pages that show a header.
Top navigation menu
The top navigation menu sits within the header area, and defines your main navigation sitemap structure.
These appear under the first tab at the top of the page settings panel.
| Page name | This is the name of the page as it appears on your navigation menu. |
| URL | This is the page URL as appears in the browser address bar for each specific page. |
| Hide header | Selecting this hides your header from this page. |
| Hide footer | Selecting this hides your footer from this page. |
| Password protected |
You can set a password here, so anyone visiting this page will be required to enter a password to have access. This page will still be visible in admin. Think carefully about the complexity of the password depending on what you are restricting. Where a password is added to pages that have sub-pages, all pages will be password protected, making it easy to manage pages with restricted or content.
|
| Background image | This adds an image to the background of the whole page. It is specific only to the page it is applied too. |
| Image size | Sets the size of the page background image. |
| Image repeat | Change this setting if the image should be repeated as the page background. |
These appear under the 2nd tab at the top of the page settings panel.
| Meta Title | A meta title is an important part of SEO, and is a tag in your sites HTML. The title displays in search engine results as the result title, and in your browser tab. |
| Meta Description | The meta description is a snippet of up to about 150 characters and is a tag in your sites HTML, that summarises a page\'s content. Search engines usually show the meta description in search results for the related page. A well written meta description can increase click-throughs significantly. |
| Google Preview | This gives you a guide as to how the meta title and meta description show in Google search. |
| No index | The noindex value requests that automated search engine bots do not index a web page. A search engine can choose to ignore this, however most will tend to honor it. |
| No follow | The nofollow value can be assigned to a page to instruct some search engines that the hyperlinks in the page should not influence the ranking of the link's target in the search engine's index |
These appear under the 3rd tab at the top of the page settings panel.

| Description | This is the description that will appear in places such as your social media post description. |
