ok, that was it. there were child pages that were un-hidden. BUT. I thought that was the whole point of having pages in a structure, so you could hide a whole branch by hiding the parent. Having to go and explicitly hide each and every page seems like a bug to me.

Hope this helps, Alex On Fri, Jul 15, 2016 at 7:52 PM, dullfig <[hidden email]> wrote: _______________________________________________ users mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you reply to this email, your message will be added to the discussion below: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Top-level-pages-visible-even-when-hidden-… To unsubscribe from Top level pages visible even when hidden, click here.

perhaps all that is required is this: when a page is requested, check the parents all the way up, and if you find a parent that is hidden, don’t show the page. From: vmassol [via XWiki] Sent: Friday, July 15, 2016 10:56 AM To: dullfig Subject: Should a nested hidden page have hidden children? (was Re: Top level pages visible even when hidden) It’s not a bug (since it wasn’t mean to be that way) but that could be a nice new feature. Although it might be quite complex to implement since we’d need to query the whole hierarchy just to know if a page is hidden or not). Unless we recursively set all children pages to hidden when you set a parent to hidden and thereafter when the user creates a page inside a nested hidden one, the hidden checkbox would be on by default (not shown for simple users). In any case, it’s worth creating a jira issues (of type “idea”) to record the idea. I’m renaming this issue to discuss the idea.
