Over time, you may find that you have liked many Facebook pages. So many that you hid some from your news feed. What if you want to see the posts from a hidden page again? Simple! You can unhide them. You can also set up lists just for pages to sort your news feed; see link below.
Updates: 9.26.11, 1.5.12
Procedure updated to reflect changes in Facebook.
Unhide Pages
1. Home
2. News Feed (left column)
3. Pencil > Edit Settings
Displays:
4. Page to unhide. X.
5. Save
If the page has a recent update, it displays in your news feed. If not, check the page to see when the last update was posted.
Note: An alternative to hide and display pages is to set up page lists. They’re essentially friend lists, but for pages. You can then select a page list and see posts only from those pages.

Facebook: Sort News Feed to View Only Friends or Pages
Putting myself into the role of a usability test subject, these steps work pretty well except for step 4. I really miss seeing the verb there — like “highlight the page to unhide” or (even better) “select the page to unhide.” I also want to know whether I can select multiple pages, or whether I have to do steps 4 and 5 again and again for each page.
Hope that helps.
Wow – Thank you SO much for this!!! VERY helpful!
OMG!!! I’ve been searching for days on how to do this. I couldn’t find it anywhere. Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! It worked perfecttly!!!
Thanks, Peggy! I’m glad it helped. :)
Thank you so much! This worked perfectly. I Googled an answer to this question and got so many confusing and obsolete answers. Even the answer on Facebooks own help page wasn’t helpful. Thanks again.
Hi! I’m glad it worked so well for you. You might want to also look at the procedure I wrote about making friend lists for pages. That’s helped me a lot. I set up lists for different types of pages, so I haven’t hidden as many pages as I used to. All I have to do is select that page list and everything’s there. (There’s a link to that procedure right on this page.)
Thank you for the easy, step by step instructions. I can usually figure these things out myself, but had to google for this, and I am so glad I found your page.
Hi Rebecca! I’m glad the procedure helped. Thanks for the note. :)
