Website Publishing Settings
The Website Publish Settings page in Mindful CMS controls how your content is published, scheduled, and shared across sites. This section explains topics, publishing options, previewing content, and short URLs.
Topics and Sites
Topics are required to publish any content.
The first selected topic automatically becomes the Primary Topic.
The Primary Topic affects:
URL structure
Site placement
SEO configuration
On multi-site implementations, you can assign a primary topic per individual site.
Publishing Options
Mindful CMS provides flexible publishing workflows:
Publish immediately to make content live instantly.
Schedule for a future date to automate publishing.
Pause or expire content to control visibility over time.
Previewing Content
Use the Preview option to view how your content will appear once published.
Preview opens in a new tab with a special URL to ensure the draft is not publicly accessible.
Preview links are private and safe for internal sharing
Short URL
Use the Copy Short URL to share drafts internally before publication
Generate short URLs for sharing and campaigns
Content Gating
The Content Gating settings in Mindful CMS determine who can access a piece of content. These settings are applied when publishing posts and help manage audience visibility
Content Gating Options
Mindful CMS offers three access levels:
Open Access
Content is publicly available to anyone visiting the site.
Registered Users Only
Only users with a registered account can view the content.
Ideal for members-only content or subscriber-exclusive materials.
Form-Gated Access
Users must complete a form (e.g., signup, survey) to access content.
Useful for lead generation, gated resources, or downloads.
