Managing generated pages
6 min read
Click Pages on a task card (or View 120 pages in the task editor) to see the pages of one task.
The pages list
The header reads Pages with a summary such as "118 live, 2 hidden" and buttons Convert to posts (see Converting to posts) and Edit task.
Column | Content |
|---|---|
Page | The title, the path, and small badges: noindex (kept out of search results) and Edited (title, URL or robots set by hand) |
Status | Live, Hidden, Removed, Converted or URL in use |
Changed | The date of the page's last real change (this is the sitemap's |
Actions | Edit (the page editor), Edit post (converted pages), View, and Hide / Show |
Search and filters
- Search URL or title… (search pages)
- Status: All statuses, Live, Hidden, Removed, Converted, URL in use
- Search engines: Indexed or not, In search results, Kept out (noindex)
- Edited by hand: Edited or not, Edited by hand, As generated
If nothing matches the list says No matching pages; before the first run No pages yet with "Run the task to generate its pages."
Hide and show a page
Hide takes a page offline: "Page hidden; it now returns “not found”." A hidden page answers 404, stays hidden through every run and still counts against your page limit. Show brings it back: "Page is live again."
Bulk actions
Tick pages (the first checkbox selects every page on the screen). A bar shows "%d page selected" with Only this screen or Select all %d matching pages (every page that matches the current search and filters). Choose a Bulk action and click Apply:
Bulk action | Effect |
|---|---|
Keep out of search results | Sets noindex by hand (survives runs) |
Show in search results | Sets index by hand (survives runs) |
Hide / Show again | As above |
Undo title, URL and robots edits (restored at the next run) | Removes your hand edits of title, URL and robots; generated values return at the next run |
Write AI content again | Queues the AI values of the pages for a rewrite (needs AI; see AI briefs and runs); hand-edited values are kept |
"Select all matching" handles at most 5,000 pages per request: "Only the first 5000 matching pages were changed. Apply the action again for the rest." The result toast says "%d page changed."
SEO health
The card SEO health above the list checks the task and summarizes it as "Looks good" or "%d to improve". Each check is Good, Note or Improve; the number of affected pages has a Show pages link that filters the list. Show all checks expands the rest.
Check | When it appears |
|---|---|
Pages never shown | Shadowed pages: "…a WordPress post, page or archive uses its URL." |
Every page has its own title / pages share a title | Duplicate titles: "Add a column that tells them apart to the title." |
Pages built from the same data | Duplicate content: "Search engines may treat them as duplicates." |
Meta description | Reminder when the task has no meta description template: descriptions are taken from the start of the content |
Empty columns | "%d row has an empty “price”, which the pages use. Fill it in or add an SEO rule for empty values." (columns used in the URL, titles, description or share image) |
Pages kept out of search results | Number of noindex pages (they are also out of the sitemap) |
Edited by hand | Pages with a title, URL or robots setting set by hand; syncs keep them |
Rows without a page | Duplicate URLs, "…is already used by another generated page." |
SEO plugin not supported | An SEO plugin other than Yoast SEO, Rank Math or All in One SEO is active |
Canonical to the template | The task points canonical URLs at the template |
No share image | Neither a share image setting nor a featured image on the template |
AI values that failed | "%d AI value could not be written." |
The checks are cached until pages or the task change; deleting a task also removes its cached checks.
The page editor
Edit opens one page: #tasks/{task}/pages/{page}. Only live and hidden pages can be edited. Buttons: View page, Rewrite AI values ("AI rewrites this page’s values in the background; values set by hand stay."), and a Page settings area. Sections:
URL and search
Control | Behaviour |
|---|---|
Page title | "The heading of the page. Generated: …". Save keeps your title through syncs ("Title saved; syncs keep it."). Use generated brings the pattern's title back ("The generated title is back."). The title is marked Set by hand. |
URL | One segment (no slashes). "Changing the URL keeps the old one redirecting (301) here." The page moves at once; the old URL answers 301. A URL that another generated page uses, or that real content uses, is refused (HTTP 409). Use generated restores the pattern's URL with the next run. |
Show this page in search results | Per-page robots setting. "Set by hand for this page; the task’s indexing settings and rules no longer change it." Follow the task again resets it. |
SEO title, Meta description, Share image | Values for this page that replace the task's templates. |
Content fields
The template's field group fields for this page, see Templates and field values. Edit, Write with AI, Use default per field.
"The template has no field group fields this editor can change." appears if no field group applies.
Structured data
The properties that the task maps to data columns, templates or AI, with the same controls. "The task adds no structured data. Turn it on in the task’s “Structured data” step." when there is none. See Structured data.
Data
The source rows of the page. Save row updates the data table and every page built from that row. Rows of field group sources open Edit on its post.
Per value states and the editor's AI button
Each value shows one of Default, Empty, Set by hand, Waiting for AI, AI failed or Written by AI. Write with AI asks the provider for that single value right now (it needs an API key); you can do this at most 10 times per minute per user ("Too many AI requests. Wait a minute and try again."). A value written this way for something the task takes from a template or the data is kept like a hand edit ("The task does not take this value from AI: the AI text is kept like a hand edit.").
What hand edits survive
You set by hand | Kept by runs | Removed by |
|---|---|---|
Title, URL, robots | yes | Use generated, Follow the task again, bulk Undo … |
SEO title, meta description, share image, field and structured data values | yes (locked) | Use default |
Hide a page | yes | Show |
Source row data | written to the data table, so it is overwritten by the next import or feed sync | – |
Deleting the task deletes the pages together with every value stored for them.
