Can’t hide pages

See what mishko did!

Something like

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=&exclude=2');

Will exclude a page with ID 2 from the menu.

if I remember correctly, this theme uses a completely different class in the header
post the header.php to wordpress.pastebin.ca
and come back here with link

@ss_minnow – But that is my problem… I can’t find that particular code in the theme that I’m using.

@samboll – Here it is…

https://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1811008

Download the whole theme and use an HTML editor that has Advanced Search & Replace. Then you can search all files in the folder for wp_list_pages.

With Windows you can probably also browse to the folder then use the Search function, choose All Files & Folders, and then put wp_list_pages in the box that says “a word or phrase in the file”. I have never tried that but since php files are just plain text, it should work.

But if Samboll is saying that it’s coded differently, maybe that is not how the menu is coded at all.

@ss_minnow – Yep, I tried that because I thought it’s the best way to find that code and I guess it’s really not there. Maybe there’s a different code to edit but I really don’t have a clue =(

as I feared – a non-standard wp theme framework
to be honest, I don’t have a clue
I looked for a hook in the theme’s functions.php file but I don’t understand it

hopefully someone else knows

@samboll – Hmmmn… Thanks for trying. I still hope somebody could help me with this.

ok – I figured it out

open theme'sheader.php`
find this code

<div id="nav">
<?php function get_the_pa_ges() {
  global ;
  if ( !  = wp_cache_get('these_pages', 'pages') ) {
      = ('select ID, post_title from '.  .' where post_status = "publish" and post_type = "page" order by ID');
}

replace with this code

<div id="nav">
<?php function get_the_pa_ges() {
  global ;
  if ( !  = wp_cache_get('these_pages', 'pages') ) {
      = ('select ID, post_title from '.  .' where post_status = "publish" and post_type = "page" and ID != "##" order by ID');
}

where you see the # signs, replace with your page id

to exclude multiple pages use this

<div id="nav">
<?php function get_the_pa_ges() {
  global $wpdb;
  if ( ! $these_pages = wp_cache_get('these_pages', 'pages') ) {
     $these_pages = $wpdb->get_results('select ID, post_title from '. $wpdb->posts .' where post_status = "publish" and post_type = "page" and ID != "3" and ID != "5" order by ID');
   }

replace the id’s with your real id’s of course

tested and works on my local install

@samboll – I’ll try it right now!

@samboll – Thanks for the help! The 1st method messes up my site but the 2nd method works like a charm! So everytime I would like to exclude a page, I would be adding a “and ID != “x”” to the code?. Thanks again!

I would be adding a “and ID != “x”” to the code?

yes – with the proper spacing
strange the 1st didn’t work, but glad you got it
