Removing Pages from Site

[GiantRobo]

Hello, I am in the process of configuring my new site.  We haven't updated any of the images yet so the site is mostly still the default theme.  We have turned off most of the pages that we didn't want but I can't find anywhere in the back office that lets me turn off this page http://www.unplugyourfun.com/stores  I don't have any physical retail stores so I have no need for this page.

 

Secondly, I turned off the "show manufacturers" and "Show Vendor".  I don't want that info displayed but when you go to the sitemap, the pages are still there.  How do I turn that off?  http://www.unplugyourfun.com/sitema

Excellent, thank you for your help!

I was able to figure out how to turn off the Manufacturers and Vendors but I wasn't able to figure out how to disable the Our Stores page.  Any help would be appreciated.

Which one do you want to disable ? The block on left/right or the link on the footer ?

 

Link on footer: tab "modules" -> modules -> block cms -> disable the check for show stores.

Thanks for the reply, I have "Display "Our stores" link in the footer" unchecked already but it still appears on the left on category pages and still appears on the sitemap.  Is there a different place to go for the links on the left like on this page http://www.unplugyourfun.com/12-build-it

For to disable the stores, you should unhook this completely from the hook list. Tab "modules -> positions". Go to displayLeftColumn and/or displayRightColumn and delete the block stores from the hook by using the chevron on right side of the line and choosing "delete".

 

PS: For SEO impact it is better to don't show on footer the link to your sitemap. It is enough when you add to your Google webmaster account the URL: yoursite.com/sitemap.xml if your site is only one language. For users it does not make any sense to show a link to your sitemap.
