Updated

To make a landing page with no header, menu, or footer, edit the page and set its Template to Landing Page. The template turns a WordPress page into a campaign page: no site header, no menu, no footer. Use it for a paid-ad destination, an event signup, or a page that should stay on one message.

This is a page template, not a starting template. Starting templates copy blocks onto new pages. Landing Page only changes the chrome around the page.

How do I hide the header and footer on a page?

  1. Edit the page.
  2. In the sidebar, open the Page tab.
  3. Under Template, choose Landing Page.
  4. Click Save.
  5. View the page logged out, or in a private window, to confirm the header and footer are gone.

Switch Template back to Default template if you want the header and footer again.

What visitors see

Hidden:

  • The header, including the logo, Main Menu, utility nav, header button, and mega menu
  • The footer, contact bar, and Dirigible attribution

Still there:

  • Everything you put in the page content
  • Tracking codes and Custom Embeds
  • The site pop-up, unless you've limited it to a different page
  • The cookie banner, if it's on

Put a logo that links to the homepage (or a Button) at the top of the page so people can leave. Nothing else will.

The page still needs a visible H1. See Add a page title (H1) to every page.

How do I keep the pop-up off a landing page?

The pop-up is not tied to the header. If Enable is on and Limit to Page is off, it appears here too, which is often the wrong move on a campaign page.

To keep it off this page only, turn on Limit to Page and set Page to a different page, such as the homepage. To show a pop-up only on the landing page, limit it to that page.

When not to use it

  • Interior pages that need the menu. Use the default template.
  • A page that's only meant to hide the title. The default template doesn't print a page title until you add one; you don't need Landing Page for that.
  • Link in Bio pages. Those already hide the header and footer on their own.
