Can't find our pages on Bluehost
Permalink
I have been called out of retirement to make some major changes on our non-profits website. Although I originally created the website for them, I have been retired for 3+ years and don't remember much about Concrete5 or navigating through the file manager on Bluehost. It was my first and only time using Concrete5 since it was my last job before retirement. We are running version version 5.6.2.1 and have Flexcrete as the theme. It has been running just fine up until now and I don't want to break it but at this point I have forgotten so much I am basically a noob.
Rather than take a chance on losing the existing pages I wanted to use the file manager to copy them to another folder temporarily but I can't seem to find them. When I go to the web root directory the only one of our pages that I see is the index.php file. I can't remember where the pages called from the menu on our main page are stored (About, Volunteer, etc). Bluehost told me this is outside of their support and that I should find the answer from C5 so if anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

those are all stored in the database. There are no actual HTML files. They are generated by the CMS, concrete5.
Then how do I rename the main page and all the other pages so that I don't overwrite them. I tried to copy the home page to another location and it said I couldn't.
We basically want to hide the main current main page and all the other pages and just have an under construction message show if you navigate to the site for now. When I did a search on our non-profit all the pages showed up and we don't want people to be able to navigate to them until we are ready with all the new info.
put a file called index.html in the web folder. It will (should) intercept all the site calls and display whatever you have on that page only.
Great idea! One question though. That will work for the main page but will it prevent people who google our non-profit from being able to navigate to the other areas of the site that show up in the search results?
put your site into maintenance mode in the dashboard. That will keep it offline for them
Thank you!
