I created a quick landing page and I’m able to preview it. It’s in a published status. But, I can’t figure out the published url?  
  
  
  
It just says, “Preview URL - use parent URL for publication”  
  
  
  
Example Preview URL: [http://localhost/mautic/index.php/p/page/1:test-page](http://localhost/mautic/index.php/p/page/1:test-page)

Hi!

Sorry, that is confusing. I’ll get the verbiage fixed but that is the URL that you would use.

If you are viewing a A/B test (or variant) page, then you would use the parent’s URL because Mautic determines what page to show based on on going stats.

Thanks,  
Alan

OK. I must have been viewing the parent page then and didn’t know the terminology.

I also thought it was only preview URL because I visited it and no visits were logged. Is Mautic user excluded from stats?

Yes, Mautic users are excluded to prevent skewing stats.

Thanks!
