Creating Static Pages that don’t show up on Nav Bar

  • I’m looking to create a static page for the home page of a site but does not show up in the nav bar.

    On that note too, I know someone that had one created for them but they don’t know how to access it to change as it doesn’t show up under the ‘regular’ pages.

    Any help on either of those would be great

  • Use the Exclude Pages Plugin.

    Yes knew about that plugin but the fried that I’m helping out has it so that it’s not even in the ‘pages’ list to even do that.

    Would it be set up some other way, anywhere else to look?

    I didn’t notice this earlier, but go ahead and update to 2.9.1 under Tools >> Upgrade.

    Why don’t the pages show in the pages list? Can you reverse whatever she did to cause that? Do they load if you go to them on the actual site? Just another idea, is the title different from the slug?

    the nav bar is likely made with wp_list_pages();

    or wp_page_menu();

    and you can use the exclude parameter there.

    sometimes the ‘home’ is actually hard-coded in the nav bar, and you can edit this usually in header.php

    so got to log in there.

    Looks like what the programmer did is set up a custom template and all the content is in the index.php

    Now what was done before I was looking at it was another ‘home page’ was selected and is now set to be the static page.

    Is there a way then to edit that index under the typical ‘pages’ or is that something that has to be edited in that template itself?

    Also, can it be left there and then to create another page as was done for the static home page?
