Too many pages – horizontal tabs

    I wonder if anyone can recommend a quick fix for too many horizontal menu tabs.
    I want to add a dozen static Pages in Magic Blue theme, but only want about five to show up in the horizontal tab bar. If I add one more new Page, a tab will be created and will wrap to a second line — not what I want.

    Am I missing a quick fix in the dashboard?
    Some width, visibility, or overflow contraint in CSS?
    Is there some other way to keep too many page titles/tabs from wrapping onto a new line?

    Are there articles or posts that already address this issue?

    Thanks;

  • no dashboard quickfix –
    edit header.php of your theme; find:

    wp_list_pages('title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&depth=1'); ?>

    you can either include the 5 pages that you want in the menu; then change the code to:

    wp_list_pages('title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&include=3,17,23,51,65'); ?>

    (the numbers are the page IDs of your pages)

    or you can exclude pages that you don’t want to show in the menu; then change the code to:

    wp_list_pages('title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&exclude=32,45,66,123,237'); ?>

    Thanks alchymyth,

    If I want the home page to show up as a tab, must I use the exclude option, or will “home” tab show up despite the fact that it seems to have no page ID #

    I just noticed that I didn’t have page#1 in the page list. Am I correct to assume that page #1 is home? I used it and it seems to work. Again, thanks. Great help!
