Pages
Odoo allows you to create pages for your website and customize their content and appearance to your needs.
(website-page-type)=
Static pages have stable content, such as the homepage. You can manually create new ones, define
their URLs, adapt their {ref}properties <website/page_properties>
, etc. Dynamic pages, on the
other hand, are generated dynamically. All pages generated automatically by Odoo, for example, when
you install an app or module (e.g., /shop
or /blog
) or publish a new product or blog post, are
dynamic pages and are therefore managed differently.
Page creation
Website pages can be created from the frontend and the backend. To create a new website page, proceed as follows:
- Either open the Website app, click {guilabel}
+ New
in the top-right corner, then select {guilabel}Page
;- Or go to {menuselection}
Website --> Site --> Pages
and click {guilabel}New
.- Enter a {guilabel}
Page Title
; this title is used in the menu and the page's URL.- Click {guilabel}
Create
.- Customize the page's content and appearance using the website builder, then click {guilabel}
Save
.- {ref}
Publish <website/un-publish-page>
the page.

Disable {guilabel}Add to menu
if the page should not appear in the menu.

(website-un-publish-page)=
Publishing/unpublishing pages
Pages need to be published to make them accessible to website visitors. To publish or unpublish a
page, access it and toggle the switch in the upper-right corner from {guilabel}Unpublished
to {guilabel}Published
, or vice versa.
:alt: Unpublished/Published toggle
:::{note} It is also possible to:
- publish/unpublish a page from the {ref}

Website --> Site --> Pages
, select the pages, then click {guilabel}Action
and select {guilabel}Publish
or {guilabel}Unpublish

Homepage
When you create a website, Odoo creates a dedicated {guilabel}Home
page by default, but you can
define any website page as your homepage. To do so, go to {menuselection}Website --> Configuration --> Settings
, then, in the {guilabel}Website info
section, define the URL of the desired page in
the field {guilabel}Homepage URL
(e.g., /shop
).
Alternatively, you can define any {ref}static page <website/page_type>
as your homepage by going
to {menuselection}Website --> Site --> Properties
. Select the {guilabel}Publish
tab and enable
{guilabel}Use as Homepage
.
(website-page-properties)=
Page properties
To modify a {ref}static page's <website/page_type>
properties, access the page you wish to
modify, then go to {menuselection}Site --> Properties
.
The {guilabel}Name
tab allows you to:
-
rename the page using the {guilabel}
Page Name
field; -
modify the {guilabel}
Page URL
. In this case, you can redirect the old URL to the new one if needed. To do so, enable {guilabel}Redirect Old URL
, then select the {guilabel}Type
of {ref}redirection <website/URL-redirection>
:- {guilabel}
301 Moved permanently

Duplicating pages

and click
{guilabel}Duplicate Page
. Enter a {guilabel}Page Name

(website-delete-page)=
Deleting pages
To delete a page, proceed as follows:
- Access the page, then go to {menuselection}
Site --> Properties
and click {guilabel}Delete Page
. - A pop-up window appears on the screen with all links referring to the page you want to delete,
organized by category. To ensure website visitors don't land on a 404 error page, you must update
all the links on your website referring to the page. To do so, expand a category, then click on a
link to open it in a new window. Alternatively, you can set up a {ref}
redirection <website/URL-redirection>
for the deleted page. - Once you have updated the links (or set up a {ref}
redirection <website/URL-redirection>
), select the {guilabel}I am sure about this
check box, then click {guilabel}OK
.
(website-url-redirection)=
URL redirect mapping
URL redirect mapping consists in sending visitors and search engines to a URL different from
the one they initially requested. This technique is used, for example, to prevent broken links when
you {ref}delete a page <website/delete-page>
, {ref}modify its URL <website/page_properties>
, or
migrate your site from another platform to an Odoo {doc}domain <configuration/domain_names>
. It
can also be used to improve {doc}pages/seo
.
To access existing URL redirections and create new ones, {doc}activate the developer mode </applications/general/developer_mode>
and go to {menuselection}Website --> Configuration --> Redirects
.
:::{note}
- A redirect record is added automatically every time you {ref}
modify a page's URL <website/page_properties>
and enable {guilabel}Redirect Old URL
. - You can set up redirections for {ref}
static and dynamic pages <website/page_type>
. :::
To create a new redirection, click the {guilabel}New
button, then fill in the fields:
-
{guilabel}
Name
: Enter a name to identify the redirect. -
{guilabel}
Action
: Select the type of redirection:- {guilabel}
404 Not found
: visitors are redirected to a 404 error page when they try to access an unpublished or deleted page. - {guilabel}
301 Moved Permanently
: for permanent redirections of unpublished or deleted {ref}static pages <website/page_type>
. The new URL is shown in search engine results, and the redirect is cached by browsers. - {guilabel}
302 Moved Temporarily
: for short-term redirections, for example, if you are redesigning or updating a page. The new URL is neither cached by browsers nor shown in search engine results. - {guilabel}
308 Redirect/Rewrite
: for permanent redirections of existing {ref}dynamic pages <website/page_type>
. The URL is renamed; the new name is shown in search engine results and is cached by browsers. Use this redirect type to rename a dynamic page, for example, if you wish to rename/shop
into/market
.
- {guilabel}
-
{guilabel}
URL from
: Enter the URL to be redirected (e.g.,/about-the-company
) or search for the desired {ref}dynamic page <website/page_type>
and select it from the list. -
{guilabel}
URL to

). -
{guilabel}

{guilabel}
Sequence
: To define the order in which redirections are performed, e.g., in the case of redirect chains (i.e., a series of redirects where one URL is redirected to another one, which is itself further redirected to another URL).
Toggle the {guilabel}Activate
switch to deactivate the redirection.
:::{important}
404, 301, and 302 redirections are meant to migrate traffic from
{ref}unpublished <website/un-publish-page>
or {ref}deleted <website/delete-page>
pages
to new pages, while the 308 redirect is used for permanent redirections of existing pages.
