Hiding Pages In Wordpress

Depending upon your chosen wordpress theme, everytime you create a new page a link to that page automatically appears in your sites navigation menus.

That’s fine if the page contains juicy content but you probably don’t want to make your privacy policy or your site credits pages too prominent - they clutter up the nav menus and detract from your real content.

Previously, I have been tinkering with the header.php code including an extra bit of code to exclude specific page numbers. But not any more! There’s a great little plug-in called exclude pages - download here - that simply adds a dialogue box to the righthand sidebar when editing pages. Just tick the box if you want the page including in the nav menus, or don’t if you don’t !

As usual, test it to make sure it’s working for you on your chosen theme.
