The page is listed under both Basics > Installation and Advanced. MkDocs files a page under one section only, so the last entry wins: opening the page currently lands the reader in the Advanced tree, even when they clicked it from Basics > Installation.

This keeps the Basics > Installation entry and drops the Advanced one, so the page sits in the beginner-facing slot.

The page URL is unchanged at /advanced/compiling-wled/, and the existing basics/compiling-wled.md redirect is untouched, so external in-links are unaffected either way.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Removed the duplicate “Compiling WLED” entry from the Advanced section.
    • Kept “Compiling WLED” available under Basics → Installation.

The page was listed under both Basics > Installation and Advanced,
which renders it twice in the sidebar and confuses the active-page
highlight and prev/next footer links. Keep the Advanced entry,
matching the page's advanced/ folder and URL. (Easy to flip if the
Basics slot is preferred.)

A rabbit checks the docs at night,
One guide stays in its proper site.
Advanced grows a little lean,
Installation keeps the scene.
Hop, hop—the map is clean!

@bharvey88 I'd actually prefer to keep the "compiling WLED" page accessible from both "Basics > Installation" and "Advanced" - Fine for me to have two nav entries point to the same page.

Reason:

  • "Basics > Installation > Compiling WLED" has many in-links from external sites, plus its better to have it visible to beginners
  • imho "Advanced > Compiling WLED" is lower priority; it could be removed or stay as a nav reference

Edit: what would be best

  • keep the page URL for "compiling WLED" as it is now
  • keep the "shadow" nav entry under "Basics > Installation" for better visibility of the page

Not sure if mkDocs has a better way to achieve this ?

@bharvey88 it you have the time, maybe try to integrate the suggestions from #161 into the "compiling WLED" page.
It has been on my toDo list for years, always postponed because the VSCode UI screenshots are not 100% up-to-date.

Would be a really nice improvement if people understood that pio run -e esp32dev (or default_envs trickery) is not the only way to compile WLED.

MkDocs files a page under one section only, so with the page listed in
both places the last entry won and clicking it from Basics > Installation
landed readers in the Advanced tree. Keeps the beginner-facing slot.

The page URL is unchanged, and the existing basics/compiling-wled.md
redirect is untouched.

Makes sense on the URL and the in-links, neither changes here either way. The page stays at /advanced/compiling-wled/ and the existing basics/compiling-wled.md redirect still covers the old path.

Flipped it: "Basics > Installation > Compiling WLED" stays, the Advanced entry goes, since you said that's the lower-priority slot.

On whether mkDocs has a better way, not really. A page belongs to one spot in the nav, and when it's listed twice the last one wins, which is why clicking it from Basics currently pulls readers over into the Advanced tab.

Regarding your request here - I will have to circle back another day for the #161 page folded in. I need to play around with PIO before submitting docs on that.
