Creating a page that won’t appear on the navbar

  • Hi guys, I’m pretty new to wordpress and I’m in the process of converting a site i made with dreamweaver. I’ve successfully recreated the template page using PHP and CSS and I can load that template and add new pages and they show up in my navbar which is pretty awesome. So far I’m loving wordpress, but here’s my problem. I’ve got one page with a bunch of pictures (people’s faces) and I want to be able to click on their face and have it send me to another page. But I don’t want that page to appear in the navigation bar. Anyone have any suggestions. Maybe this is actually really easy and i’m an idiot so once again I’m sorry if this question is ridiculous.

    Also, I don’t have the site loaded online yet (I’ve just been testing it on my computer) so I can’t send you a link.

    Thanks for your help.

  • This is going to be a little “in general” I’m afraid, but it should point you in the right direction. In the folder of the theme you are currently using, you should find a file called header.php. Open this file with a plain text editor and search for the string: wp_list_pages.

    It will appear in most cases as a variation of something like this:

    <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1'); ?>

    You can prevent a page from appearing by excluding it in wp_list_pages.

    It can be as simple as changing the tag to something like this:

    <?php wp_list_pages('exclude=10,15 title_li=&depth=1'); ?>

    Where 10 and 15 are the page numbers that I want to exclude. Here is a link that will explain much more clearly.

    I don’t believe that this effects the page listings in the sidebar, however.

    Or if you want to be really lazy, you can use a plugin called Exclude Pages From Navigation:
