Advanced Options

There are a number of Advanced options that manage how pages are published to the website:

Exclude from sitemap

Use this option to create “hidden” pages, like style guides, or “thanks” pages after an interaction. These pages are published with a flag that requests search engines do not index them. They are also excluded from the automatically generated sitemap XML file.

SEO Page Title

Page titles are automtically generated according to this pattern:

PAGE TITLE - University of Wisconsin-Madison Shelter Medicine Program

For some pages, you may want to override this pattern with a specific title: use this option to override the automtically created page title.

Slug

The URL for a page is automtically generated from the title. So a page titled “Welcome New Users” has a friendly, human-readable slug — the last part of the URL — of /welcome-new-users. Perhaps, for a marketing campaign, eg., you wish to have a very specific URL: like hello instead. Use this option to set the URL.

Canonical URL

If you have multiple web properties, sometimes a piece of content — an article, say — is shared between the properties. Use the Canonical URL to tell search engines which site is the primary owner of the content. This helps with SEO — sending a signal to search engines to index the primary property for this content, instead.

Aliases

Sometimes, you want to create another URL that will redirect to the current page. You might do this for a marketing campaign, for example, where you want to promote a short URL. Use the Alias option to add one or more additional URLs that will redirect to the page.
