Hiding Items and Categories

The "Hide" feature allows you to suppress a product or category from showing up on your site without actually deleting it from the Site Manager database. This is a handy feature if you are out of stock on a certain item or have a seasonal announcement that you might want to remove from the site but run again.

Note: If you hide a category, the products within that category will not show on your website; however, these products may still be indexed by search engines resulting in a link to that product page. If you do not want products within a hidden category to be indexed by search engines, you will need to hide the products as well as the category.

Reminder: The following Top Level Categories are checked as hidden: Announcements and More Info, and possibly the Product Catalog. This does not mean the information in these categories is hidden. You will want to leave the "Hide" box for these top-level categories checked.

To hide a product or category:

1. View the page in the Site Manager that contains the list of products or (sub)categories you wish to hide.

2. Click the "Hide" checkbox in the far left column for each entry you would like to hide.




3. Click "Save Changes".
