Hiding Content - Sports Leagues Docs

What it does: Manage visibility of opponent teams and players on single-team websites
Requires: Sports Leagues Premium

Overview

When running a single-team website (e.g., your local club), you need opponent teams and players in the database for games, standings, and statistics—but you don’t want dedicated pages for them. This guide covers strategies for managing content visibility in SL Kit sites.

🏆 Hiding Teams

If you don’t want to show other club pages, set opponent teams to Hidden status.

Result: Teams appear in games, standings, and statistics but have no clickable profile pages.

How to hide teams:

1. Go to Teams & People → Teams
2. Select teams to hide (use checkboxes)
3. Choose Edit from Bulk Actions
4. Set Status to Hidden
5. Click Update

See Hidden Post Status for detailed instructions.

👤 Hiding Players

Two options for hiding opponent players:

Option 1: Hidden Status

Set player posts to Hidden status. Players appear in game lineups and statistics but have no profile pages.

Best for: Players you need in your database but don’t want profile pages for.

Option 2: Temporary Players

Add players directly in the game editor as “temporary” players—text-only entries without creating database records.

How to add temporary players:

1. Edit the game
2. Go to Players List section
3. Click + Add Player
4. Select Temporary Player tab
5. Enter player name (and optionally position/nationality)
6. Click Add Temporary Player

Best for: Opponent players you’ll never reference again—one-time entries that don’t clutter your player database.

🔄 Scenario: Player Transferred to Your Team

When a player previously played for another team and then joined your team, and you want to show statistics only for your team:

Recommended approach: Create two player profiles:

Profile	Status	Purpose
Profile 1	Hidden	Previous team history (opponent data)
Profile 2	Published	Your team (active player page)

Why this works:

• Hidden profile keeps historical game data for the previous team
• Published profile shows only your team’s statistics
• No confusion between team affiliations
• Clean player page showing only relevant stats
