In Go Edit, there are several system pages that play a critical role in managing your website. These pages cannot be removed from your site’s page list. They include the 404 Page, Password Protected Page, and Under Construction Page. Let’s explore their features and customisation options.
404 Page
The 404 Page is displayed when a visitor enters an incorrect URL or tries to access a page that no longer exists. You can customise this page through the Settings and Design tabs.
Settings Tab:
- Page Name: Specify a name that reflects the purpose of the page, such as “Page Not Found.”
- Page URL: Edit the URL of the 404 page to ensure it is meaningful and user-friendly.
- Code Injection: Add custom code to the page’s
<head>or before the</body>tag. This is useful for adding analytics or other third-party scripts.
Design Tab:
The Design tab allows you to modify the layout and background of the 404 page. This includes:
- Layout: Edit the header, footer, and content layout to match the overall design of your site.
- Background: You can configure the background with custom images or colours, just like any other page on your website.
Password Protected Page
The Password Protected Page is a feature that restricts access to certain pages, requiring visitors to enter a password before viewing the content. This can be useful for member-only areas or private sections of your site.
Settings Tab:
- Password Protected Form: This unremovable widget allows you to control the password protection settings. You can customise its spacing, titles, and form settings. There are additional settings for animations that control how the form appears on the page.
- Field Name: Customise the label for the password field.
- Button Label: Modify the text displayed on the confirmation button (e.g., “OK” by default).
- Wrong Password Message: Edit the message shown when an incorrect password is entered.
- Error While Sending: Customise the error message displayed if the form fails to send, typically due to a server issue.
Design Tab:
In this tab, you can change the appearance of the password form widget:
- Preset Name: Select from preset styles that affect the design of the form.
- Button Preset: Change the button design using various presets.
- Size: Set the button size to small, medium, or large.
- Alignment: Adjust the alignment of the password form within its area (left, centre, or right).
Under Construction Page
The Under Construction Page is designed to inform visitors that the site is temporarily unavailable or being developed. This page is visible only to unauthorised visitors; as the site owner, you need to log out of the Control Panel to view the page as your visitors would.
Settings Tab:
- Page Name: Set a name for this page, like “Under Construction” or “Coming Soon.”
- Page URL: Edit the URL to reflect the purpose of the page, ensuring it is clear to visitors and search engines.
- Code Injection: Similar to the 404 page, you can add custom code to the header or footer sections for analytics or tracking purposes.
Design Tab:
The design of the Under Construction page can be customised like any other page:
- Layout: Modify the header, footer, and content layout to ensure it aligns with your site’s design.
- Background: Set a custom background using images or colours to create a unique look for the Under Construction page.
Summary of System Page Features:
- 404 Page: Customise for missing pages with full layout and background control.
- Password Protected Page: Restrict access with configurable form settings, including messages and design presets.
- Under Construction Page: Notify visitors of your site’s status, visible only to unauthorised users.
These system pages are vital for site management and user experience, and Go Edit provides flexible customisation options to suit your branding and site structure.
