Never mind, folks. I finally struggled to find a way using Firebug to find out. Hope I'm reading things correctly!
SundancerMemberHmmm... Thanks for the suggestion. I gave it a try. It creates a new footer area below the current one, but it loses all the footer formatting that I had set up in the Design Settings (font size and type, background color, borders, etc).
I'm a real newbie, which is why I chose Prose. I can do some coding (with assistance like yours), but I'm not up to dealing with a lot of it.
Is there another way to "remove" 2 of the 3 current footers, and let the remaining one expand to the full width and keep all the footer formatting?
SundancerMemberI've had a great experience using Instant WordPress to develop a new Genesis website, and then uploading the finished product to my c-panel at my online host.
SundancerMemberFinally - an EASY solution!
Install "[B]PC Hide Pages[/B]" WordPress plugin. It's extremely simple. It gives you a list of all your pages (not posts), and you just check off which ones you want to hide. It removes those pages from archives, public sitemap, and search results AND tells the search engines to not index or cache the pages. The pages remain available to anyone that has the exact URL.
Perfect for thank you pages, bonus pages, etc. It's still important that you don't have a link to those hidden pages anywhere else on your website, AND that your social sharing plugin doesn't automatically allow people to share those hidden pages. Also, check that the settings for any automatic cross-linking plugins won't generate links to your hidden page.
I am so thankful that someone created such a simple, helpful tool!
SundancerMemberHmmm... I've been playing around with the plugin a little bit - using Instant WordPress on my desktop with a copy of my site. I set the thank you page to be redirected (which works), BUT the page name still shows up on my archive page (sitemap). Is there a way to prevent that?
And this plugin should definitely help me improve my basic SEO settings!
SundancerMemberI can’t “hide” my thank you pages, because that prevents anyone else from viewing them. I need my new subscribers to be able to view them by a direct link. A membership plugin won't work for that reason, either, I think.
I'll have to look into the Yoast plugin. I'm trying to limit the plugins I'm using, to minimize possible conflicts and speed up page loading. But I definitely need to work this out ASAP. Thanks for the suggestions!
SundancerMemberWe did it again!
I'm not sure if it has a different name. It shows up as squarefootabundance.com/sitemap/
I've seen other people refer to the main blog page as the archive page, but I would consider this public sitemap a true archive. But I don't know which it refers to when I select noarchive under the theme SEO section for each page.
I can't "hide" my thank you pages, because that prevents anyone else from viewing them. I need my new subscribers to be able to view them by a direct link.

SundancerMemberOops! You beat me to the enter button!
I'm using Going Green. And, yes, this is a public sitemap. The Yoast plugin - is that for the public or xml sitemap?
SundancerMemberOh, and this sitemap page is also shown by default when a 404 error code comes up. Not sure how to change that, if I wanted to.
SundancerMemberMy theme automatically creates a sitemap page, by default visible to the public, which lists all posts and pages. I have a choice to make this sitemap page private, but would prefer to leave it available for visitors to use.
I'm also not sure if this page is the same one that the search engines use for my site (an XML sitemap) - anyone know? If it is, I don't know if making it private would block the search engines from using it.
SundancerMemberThanks, Dean!
SundancerMembercehwitham,
Thanks for taking the time to provide suggestions for me, and I'm sorry for taking so long to respond. I've been swamped this week with far too many other projects!
I tried using your suggested code changes, and it didn't work. I fiddled around with it several times, but I just kept getting parse error messages, like "unexpected &". I decided to just manually insert the featured images at the top of each page instead. It doesn't look exactly the same, but it's good enough for now.
The plugins for the image and video widgets are great. Thanks!
