Hi,

I want to create an article, but do not want this article as a menu item in my main menu (or any other menu).
1. How can I do that?
2. And how can I link to this new article from one of my other articles?
3. And how can I go to this new article by a direct URL?

Thanks in advance, Maurice
Maurice

You only need to create an article. It doesn't have to have a menu item unless you want it to have an alias.

2. And how can I link to this new article from one of my other articles?

You create a link to it like any other article link. I think you probably already know how to do that. If you don't I'll get you a detailed explantion, but I've seen lots of your posts and you seem to have a good handle on the basics.

3. And how can I go to this new article by a direct URL?

Hi Maurice,

Your questions are getting easier to answer. The more specific the question, the easier the answer. You're getting better and better. Keep up the the good work.

Cheers,
Ed

Some fortune cookie wisdom...

A successful conclusion is a great reward.
