How do I temporarily unpublish a page?
Put a page offline without deleting it
Key features • Easy unpublishing from project settings • Immediate removal of a page while keeping it internally • Ideal for seasonal pages, pages undergoing maintenance or redesign • Allows you to work on a page without it being publicly visible
Temporarily unpublishing a page is very useful for a hotel website when you want to hide a seasonal offer, rework a rooms page, prepare a new version of the spa, or update a landing page. The page remains in your project but is no longer accessible online.
Unpublish a page from the project settings
The easiest way to remove a page from the public site is to act directly in the Project Settings.
- Access the Project Settings.
- Go to the Publishing / Pages tab.
- Find the page you want to remove.
- Disable its publication in the page list (according to the available options).
The page will be immediately unpublished and will no longer be visible to your visitors.
Unpublish a page by removing its published URL
If the page remains visible online, you can force its removal from publication:
- Open the Designer.
- Go to Pages → click on Page Settings.
- Temporarily modify the slug (e.g., add -temp).
- Publish the website.
The original URL becomes untraceable and the page is no longer publicly accessible.
💡 Tip: keep your new temporary URL unindexed so you can work on the page without worry.
Unpublish a CMS page
If the page originates from a CMS Collection:
- Open the relevant collection.
- Select the item.
- Disable Publish or delete the published version.
The page derived from this item automatically disappears from the public website.
Prevent a page from being indexed (additional option)
If you wish to hide the page from search engines in addition to unpublishing it:
- In the Page Settings, check "Disable indexing (noindex)".
- Publish again.
This option also prevents Google from displaying the old version in its results.
Verify that the page has been unpublished.
Once the page is removed, test: • the original URL (it should display a 404 error) • its absence from the site's menus or sections • its disappearance from internal search results
Conclusion
Temporarily unpublishing a page is a safe and quick way to remove content without deleting it. This is ideal for managing seasonal offers, marketing landing pages, or pages undergoing redesign, while maintaining a clean and organized work environment.
