raincoaster on "Invisible, 'Link-only' Pages?"

You will need three separate blogs, because you're looking at three different alphabets. Then in each post you can just manually make the links to the other two blogs.

Hi!

I really hope you can help with something...

I'm working on a blog for school...and here, we have students that speak in three languages (English, Cantonese and Portuguese...primarily English)

There are news articles that students write about for different events we have, in all three languages, and instead of writing everything with all the languages in one long blog (separated by lines, example), It would be convenient if at the top of the blog post they could immediately see links that would transport the students to the same blog post in the language they want to read the news in.

In my case, I would want to keep English as the main language and have links to the 'hidden' posts with the different language. So the trick is to hide these other posts I want to make from showing up on the main page, otherwise, there would be like three posts on the same thing, and very odd indeed.

I am using the regular wordpress.com account. Please help! Thanks!!

@absurdoldbird - Thank you so much for that. I haven't actually used menus before, so I guess I need to do a bit of experimenting! But thank you very much, to everyone also, and I appreciate your opinion on the Artist page's current state! I will consider and have a mess around.

PS. You have some excellent artwork on your blog!

@pegasiamusic - I have something like this on a private blog. Not the one linked from my name). What I did was type all the names on one page which is visible from the menu. Each name links to a page of its own but those pages aren't visible on the menu. You can only do this with a custom menu, or else the other pages will show.

So basically, yes - and it's easy enough.

It looks to me like you've already used a custom menu, but in case you need some more info about it, here's the link:

http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

To do the links - just do it like you'd do links on any page or post.

However, one thing - and this is just a personal opinion - I think your current Artists page is great and I suspect people are much more likely to look at the info as you have it now rather than via links by themselves on a page.

You can make Parent and Child Pages - then only the Parent shows unless you mouse over it then the child pages will drop down

I'm not opposed to having these pages viewable in the slightest, just not along the top. Considering there are quite a lot of artists on this list, it would look horrendously cluttered. I was considering this option as a form of extensive organisation, considering the list itself with all fo the information etc looks slightly cluttered itself already anyway...

Unless you password-protect a page, it will be viewable by anyone who either gets the link from your site or finds it through a google search or a link from another referring site. For example, if you had an artist named Jane Smith and she had a blog, she could link to her pages on your site if she found them initially through your site, and you really couldn't stop that from happening.

To be honest, having all of your pages publicly viewable is a good thing for your search engine rankings.

If you really just want to funnel your own site viewers into a process to find a certain page, make sure the sub pages are not included in your menu or other navigation, and it will be unlikely anyone will stumble across those sub pages accidentally.

pegasiamusic on "Invisible, 'Link-only' Pages?"

pegasiamusic — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 20:54:49 +0000

Hello. I am wanting to know if it's possible to create a page that is only viewable when someone is directed to it via link. Essentially, I currently have a page that contains a list of Artists and with their information, links and a picture related to these artists each. Instead, I would like to have the list of them all but just their names hyperlinked, and these links lead to other pages, previously seemingly nonexistent, that hold information, links and pictures specifically for that artist alone.

Any help would be appreciated.

No. Pages are editable by editors and administrators. Authors and Contributors cannot edit pages, only their own posts.

Wow! What a quick response.

While I was waiting, I found the first link you mentioned above.

How easy is that!?! I've already made changes exactly as I wanted them to be.

Thank You!

As I said before, I am new here. So far, this is GREAT!

I am so glad I decided to use WordPress.com for my new blog.

You can use the read-more tag in your posts:

Or you can switch to a theme that automatically displays beginnings or titles on category pages - see here:

Sorry for the typo. My site is http://www.FindHelpToPayBills.wordpress.com (Not "finding").

My apologies.

I'm having the same problem.

When someone clicks on a category, I would like for them to be able to decide if they want to view the whole post or not.

My site is http://www.FindingHelpToPayBills.wordpress.com.

I am new to wordpress.com and would like to say that I am totally impressed with the quick and appropriate response to questions.

Thank you in advance for helping us with this.

thesacredpath — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 09:23:10 +0000

The setting at setting > reading only controls what is shown in your RSS feed. It does not control what is shown in the site posts.

What shows in tags, categories and archives pages, and in the main blog page varies from theme to theme. Some designers will show the full text, some will show just an excerpt and some will show only the post titles.

There are a couple options possible, but we will have to take a look at your site, and the site linked to your username only has the "hello world" post and nothing else. Can you give us a link to the site you are referring to?

thesacredpath on "Adding a widget on the home page only"

thesacredpath — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 20:00:59 +0000

There are a few themes that do not show widgets on static pages, but there is no way for the blogger to control what pages they show on or not. There are also some recently added themes that have a setting or a page template for no sidebars. The following links will give you more information on the sidebar/no sidebar issue.

http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/11/12/widgets-on-pages-or-single-posts/

I can't find any information on which themes have "no sidebar" templates or the ability to turn sidebars off. iNove I know is one of them where you can turn sidebars off.

davecym — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 18:17:20 +0000

Hi, on my blog, http://thefantasygeek.com, I have two sidebars full of widgets that are persistent (they show up with all pages). Is it possible to set a widget to appear ONLY on the home page and not on all the other pages (preferably keeping all of the other widgets on the the other pages)?

Thanks for the help!

Hi I have been trying to figure out how to do a blog like this.

http://www.youthedesigner.com/

Where each blog post shows just a snippett of the whole thing and you have to click in to read the rest of the article.

So as each post on the home page fits into a smaller space so people can easily scroll through to the bits they want to read. When they click on the one they want to see it goes to a page containing just that post on its own plus the comments.

Cheers

timethief on "Images Display Titles Only Retroactively"

You can delete any images previously uploaded here -> Manage -> Uploads. And I do think upgrading your browser to firefox 2.0.0.4 is a good idea.

walkingthefenceline on "Images Display Titles Only Retroactively"

walkingthefenceline — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 16:50:54 +0000

Windows XP and Firefox 2.0.0.3. I tried all that stuff (just now) and it didn't work. I opened IE, and the pictures do display there and the editor worked, so apparently it is a browser issue.

I guess I''ll try reinstalling Firefox.

Thanks.

While trying to deal with this, I reuploaded some of the images that are now duplicated in Browse All. Is there a way to delete them?

walkingthefenceline on "Images Display Titles Only Retroactively"

walkingthefenceline — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 15:51:28 +0000

Images that had posted correctly before, in older posts,now show only the title, i.e. "picture.jpg" instead of showing the picture. This has happened retroactively.

In a new post, I can upload new images to the picture manager, but when I hit "Send to Editor", nothing happens.

Plus, I can only compose in Code, Visual option is greyed out.

I have not changed the theme nor any other setting.

ryannjenn on "Can I change a user with a blog back into a "User Only""

ryannjenn — Wed, 02 May 2007 16:24:10 +0000

No can do since it's one username per email. Ok you thought your message was contorted well try this one on for size. I hope this makes sense:

I assume that UserA is yourself and you are admin of the BlogA. You then created UserB with their own BlogB, but they can also view BlogA. The problem you said is they view BlogB by accident so then I suggest you (UserA) take over admin of BlogB. This is done by making both UserA and UserB administrators of BlogB. Then after you are admin of it take UserB off as admin so the only blog associated with UserB is now BlogA. :)

After all this. UserA will be admin of both BlogA and BlogB and then UserB will only be able to view BlogA (or whatever setting you gave them - see links above in first reply).

Hope that makes sense, but the best I could do without any examples given since the blogs are private.
