I’m working in Rapidweaver 7.5.6, trying to hide a tab on my website. [https://crybabystudios.com/applyforgrant/](https://crybabystudios.com/applyforgrant/) I first tried by unchecking “show in navigation” in the inspector box and republished. This worked for another page in the past that I wanted to hide but not delete but it did not work for this page. I cleared the browser cache and previewed the site on FIrefox from RW and it seems to be gone but when I republish it persists. I tried republishing ALL files and went as far as making a copy of RW program file then removed the page completely and republished - the APPLY FOR GRANT page is still there. I host through CPanel on GoDaddy and see the file there, even removed it, but still persists!!! I really need to axe this page today, any guidance is greatly appreciated!! thanks Leigh Here is the site itself and not the page I am trying to remove: [https://crybabystudios.com/](https://crybabystudios.com/) ---

It’s strange that by unchecking ‘show in navigation’ the page navigation structure persists. If it isn’t showing in RW but shows in a browser I’d strongly suggest it’s a browser cache issue. Try viewing the site with another browser. Another suggestion might be that you have two versions of the page. You have forms on the page which suggests a .php extension. I wonder if when you originally created the page you made an html page then added the forms after thereby creating a php version and have publised both to your server. You will need to manually delete both files. RW doesn’t delete content for you. ---

I’ve tried multiple browsers on different devices even. I just removed some files on my Cpanel and broke the page… [https://crybabystudios.com/applyforgrant/](https://crybabystudios.com/applyforgrant/) I republished it again and still the APPLY FOR GRANT tab shows but now when I click on it it’s messed up and the navigation is gone. uh oh.

Hit that browse button by path, Select public\_html, that’s where you should be publishing to. On each page (inspector): The filename should be left as index.(html/php) The folder name should be whatever you want the url to be for that page. Ie. events In the example above the url would end up as: yoursitename/events Hopefully that makes sense ---

You should leave your file name as index. Unless you have a real good reason not to, index is the default file name that is served so users don’t need to remember it. You should make your folders (lowercase, no spaces, use a \_ between words if multi word) if you can name them a keyword that’s even better. Then in your .htaccess file make sure you have rules to redirect http -vs- https and www -vs- no www Example: [https://www.YourSite.com/news/index.php](https://www.YourSite.com/news/index.php) The user would only need to know [YourSite.com/news](http://YourSite.com/news) to get there ---
