Pages
From Flux Developer Portal
The template you choose at Community Creation comes with a preset combination of pages and modules. These pages can be modified, new pages can be added, and pages can be deleted – all from the Community Pages and Navigation section of the Community Manager.
Additionally, there is a "Master Page" template that controls items that appear across all pages on your site, such as navigation, masthead advertising, site logo, etc. You can modify this Master Page from the Developer Panel.

Editing Individual Pages
To edit an existing page, click the “More” dropdown from any page on your community and go to Community Manager, then click Add/Remove Pages. Click the edit icon under the "Actions" column for any existing page you want to edit. You'll be brought to the Edit screen for that page.
On the Edit screen, you can do several tasks:
- Select a different layout
- Edit the Page Name
- Edit the URL for the page
- Edit the Page Title
- Add the page to your global Site Navigation
- Edit the page description (for better search engine optimization)
- Add SEO keywords (for better search engine optimization)
- Designate any page as the homepage of your site. For instance, if you want the first page users come to be Browse Members, you would make that the default page.
SEO - Page Titles and Metatags
All pages built on the flux Page Building Tools (PBT) allow the Community Admin to enter page titles and metatags. To update this section, login as the Community Admin and navigate to the Community Pages and Navigation section of the Community Manager.
Select the "edit" icon next to the page you'd like to add a title and metatags to.
Page Title: After selecting edit, scroll up and find the "Title" field. Insert the title that you want associated with the page. Hit "Save page" to update changes. Note: aside from SEO, the title will control how the name appears in the browser navigation, as well as on search engine results pages.
Page Description: The description field allows you to add metatags to each page. Enter the metatags you'd like associated with the page and hit "Save page" to update changes. NOTE: aside from SEO, metatags may also appear on search engine results pages beneath the page title.
Adding Pages
Your community template comes with the following default pages: Community, Profile, Members, Photos, Videos, and Discussions. To add a new page, first click the "Add a new page" button. You will see the same options for a new page as you did for editing an existing page. Be sure to check the “Add This Page To Site Navigation” box so that the page will be accessible from your site menu. Or if you prefer to set up the page before you make it accessible to your members, leave the box unchecked, but be sure to make note of the page URL so you can go back and add the link to this page later from the Site Navigation Editor.
Site Navigation Editor
This is where you can edit navigational links. You can choose a horizontal menu with no dropdown, or a horizontal menu with a submenu dropdown. Once you choose which link to edit, the link can be edited in the pane. You can also get the navigation code if you want to add it to other pages not hosted on flux.com. Clicking the "Get Code" button will generate a dialog box that you can copy and paste the code into your site from.
Removing Pages
You cannot delete pages that came with your community template, because these pages are required by any modules or widgets you have that include links to view more content. You can remove these pages from your Site Navigation by going to the Site Navigation Editor and clicking the delete button under the "Actions" column next to the page you want to remove from your nav.
To delete a page you created yourself, you can do so from the "Add/Remove Pages" section of Community Manager. Simply click the delete button under the "Actions" column next to the page you wish to delete. Note that this will completely delete the page and there is no undo for this action.
