Need help with thank you page

What program would I use to create a thank you page and how would I get the link for it from my server? I did come up with an idea, I don't know how professional it would look though. I created a new page on my blog and made it a thank you page and made it private. That way I could just use the link to that page as the redirect link, but the sidebar stuff shows. Is this a bad idea? If so what would be recommended?

  • Instead of making the WordPress page private
    install this plugin: pageMash

    with this plugin you have the ability to re-order your pages anyway you want and hide pages too. I use it and it's a very handy WordPress plugin to have.

    • That's cool. I did not know about that plug-in. Thank You guys so much. Your help is much appreciated. Awesome! I'll remember this when I know what I'm doing. : )
  • Hey jaypick,
    I don't think there's anything wrong with what you came up with. Your fix will work just fine unless you're after a certain "look" of the thank you page. Good job tweaking WP!

  • Is your salespage on WordPress as well? If not, then it might be weird to be redirected to a WordPress page. If you just have a payment button on your blog and need to redirect PayPal or whatever payment processor you're using to a download/thank you page, then you should be golden.

    Making your page "Private" would mean your visitor would have to be logged in to view it - not really what you want (you can see it because you are logged in - try it without being logged in to confirm)

    Karen has the right idea with that plugin to "hide" your page - there is also one called wp-low-profiler which does a similar job - and I am sure there will be others.

    HTH

    You'll get there in the end - don't worry about it ;-)
