Excluding pages from navigation menu

ap_buildMenu is a function in that theme’s functions.php so looks like you would change

wp_list_pages('title_li=&sort_column='.$mo. '&depth=0'. $excString);

to something like this to exclude page ids 7, 14, and 27

wp_list_pages('exclude=7,14,27title_li=&sort_column='.$mo. '&depth=0'. $excString);

Note that the Home link is hardcoded in header.php

Thanks MichaelH for pointing out where the function is.There are actually two different buildMenu functions in this page.

Unfortunately the pages aren’t being excluded when I do as you’ve suggested above.

Actually, in Admin->Appearance->Panaroma Theme Options, there is a place to exclude pages from the menu. Just enter the page Id’s separated by commas.
