Question about Twenty Ten Theme WP Theme

by SoEasyMoney
7 replies
I am using the Twenty Ten theme for my Amazon review sites because I think it is a very clean theme and generally easy to use. I do have one question for you WP techies, though! Along the bottom of the header it displays the 'Pages'. Most of my content is in the form of posts not pages, but I do have a few 'Pages', including my privacy, contact, etc. I know that the privacy, contact, and disclaimers have to be on the website but I hate that they are taking up the bottom of the ribbon on my header as I have a comparison table and a few other 'Pages' that I would like to show as links on the bottom of my header. Any suggestions as to how to either suppress (or can we even do that?) these pages and/or a different location for these?

Sorry for the rambling post. It's been a long day!

    I use the free Exclude Pages plugin, and exclude all of my pages from the upper navigation. Then, I either create a sidebar widget and put hyperlinks to my pages in there, or I put hyperlinks to my pages in the footer of the site. This can be done on Twenty Ten or just about any other WordPress theme.

      Before you complicate things with another plugin (which increases the number of server calls and slows down your page load), try using the built-in custom menu function...

    You can do that with the custom menu function. I never used that. Thanks for letting me know.

    Hi

    I usually create a custom top menu with only "Home" and other pages I WANT the user to visit. Just go to Menu in your Admin Panel, create a menu and call it what you want, add the pages you want for the menu then choose "Use Custiom Menu" and use the one you created.

    I read Google views the first links it sees on your page a "more important" so best to have your most desired links near the top. I have no idea if this is true or not.

    I don't put admin page links in the sidebars. I manually add my disclaimer/privacy/etc pages in the footer as text. You want them on your page, but the less visible to your visitors the better.

    It is also good to have those types of pages marked as "no follow" and "no index" to keep irrelevant pages out of the search results. I don't always do this but have read it is a good idea. Thee are plugins that can do it for you.

    What you're looking to do can be done by creating a custom menu. This is possible in Twenty Ten, I believe (not all themes allow it) BUT you have to be running Wordpress 3.0 or better. In your Wordpress dashboard, click into the Appearance section and then click on Menus. From there the process is not exactly intuitive, but you should be able to figure it out. You want to create a new menu and then add links to the posts or pages you want. These will end up at the top, under the header photo.
