Hi All,

Hoping some coders are on the board.

Was changing some code on my wordpress theme to add pages that wouldnt appear on the navigation but it looks like I've wiped some code that put the parts in order?

Can anyone HELP???

see houseoption.co.uk

Regards, Jim.

    <div class="topmenu">
    <ul>

    <?php wp_list_pages
    ('title_li=&depth=4&sort_column=menu_order&include ='.$bot_topmenu); ?>

    </ul>

      Its ok got it now - (BUT) can anyone tell me how to create pages but not have them appear on the navigation bar?

      Can you provide the full code that should appear in the header div ?

      This would be a BIG help.

      Thanks, Jim

        I use a plugin called wp-hide-pages.

    2 options.. there are lots of plugins to hide pages from the nav. The other option is to use the new custom menus feature of WP where you can select items from your pages/categories/etc to create a menu widget.

    If you create a custom menu and using a older theme, you may have to change the current menu area into a widget area on your theme header. Shouldn't be too hard and gives you total control.

    Actually, if you don't need a dynamic menu that adds new pages/categories to your menu automatically, you can just write the HTML for the menu directly to your header.

      Managed to get the changes made to the header.php but its still showing two pages I dont want there - FAQ's and Options Explained, also want the privacy and terms pages to appear in the footer only?

      I believe there is a simple exclude argeument you put in but dont know how to enter it?

        If you are using this code:
        <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=4&sort_column=menu_ order&include ='.$bot_topmenu); ?>

        Then you can add exclude parameter followed by page ID:
        <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=4&sort_column=menu_ order&include ='.$bot_topmenu).'&exclude=123,456'; ?>
        Note: 123 and 456 is the page ID you want to exclude

    I think the code ecoboss has provided you is the right one, its better to hire someone to get this task done as you know webmasters hate helping for nothing and its the rule of business as well.

    ecoboss - read the documentation on how the wp_list_pages function works, link: Function Reference/wp list pages « WordPress Codex

    You'll get your answers there.

        Guys still struggling to exclude pages from the navigation bar

        I wanted the top holder to just show Member Login - FAQ's - Contact Us but it was repeating all the page titles in the main nav - however now theyve ALL dissapeared!!

        Can anyone see why?

        Jim.

          Seems to have most of it to work now.

          Christian and others thanks for the feedback.

          Just one more thing, The navigation pages seem to have dropped down the page and I can see the word (pages) in black and its pushing everything else down.

          Cant see anything in the code, its clearly something I'm missing. Can anyone tell me why?

          Regards, Jim.
