    Is there a way to exclude a page from wp_list_pages by Page Title or Page Slug. I cannot know the ID in advance so i cannot use

    wp_list_pages(‘exclude=3’)

    I am trying to get this to work:

    wp_list_pages(get_page_link(get_page_by_title(‘Publish Post’)->ID))

    but I cannot.

    Many thanks

    $page = get_page_by_title('About');
wp_list_pages('exclude='.$page->ID);

    Thankyou. It works, but I forgot to mention that there is more than one page to exclude.

    I have studied the codex to see how to put them in an array but no luck.

    So far I have this:

    $page = get_page_by_title (array(
'About'),
('Privacy'),
('Disclaimer')
));

    But it only excludes the first page ‘About’.

    Thank you.

    You’d have to get each value individually.

    OK. I have got the values individually like this:

    $page1 = get_page_by_title ('About');
$page2 = get_page_by_title ('Services');
$page2 = get_page_by_title ('Privacy');

    and they all work. For example:

    wp_list_pages('exclude='.$page1->ID);
wp_list_pages('exclude='.$page2->ID);
wp_list_pages('exclude='.$page3->ID);

    But I cannot seem to combine them so that a single instance of wp_list_pages excludes all of them.

    I know this is no where near right, but the result I am seeking is:

    wp_list_pages('exclude='.$page1->ID, .$page2->ID, .$page3->ID);

    Thanks for your help so far. Sorry not to have figured this.

    $args = 'exclude=' . $page1->ID . ',' . $page2->ID . ',' . $page3->ID
wp_list_pages($args);

    Thank you!

    For others seeking this solution (provided by MichaelH):-

    The code for excluding pages when you know the Title but not the ID. The following is an example excluding three pages from the menu.

    <?php
$page1 = get_page_by_title ('About');
$page2 = get_page_by_title ('Services');
$page3 = get_page_by_title ('Privacy Policy');

wp_list_pages('exclude=' . $page1->ID . ',' . $page2->ID . ',' . $page3->ID);
?>

    thanks it working ……… but can any one help it by using array

    Is there any way to make it so that when you exclude a page it also excludes all the sub-pages under it? Rather than having to put the sub-pages in manually?

    Hi,
    I have a question related to excluding pages from nav bar but not excluding from page source. Because all the exclude option does is make the page private and I don’t want the page to be private

    any suggestions
