    Hello! I have been searching for this answer and have yet to find how to do this. I simply want to remove a tab from the top of my page, but I still want to have the page active as I have a link to the page on the bottom of my site. I really need this in plain English and not a link to a technical description. I have no issue entering code somewhere, but the codex searches I have done don’t seem to give me plain English details on where to exactly enter a code nor what the codes do exactly. Please help!

    Hello! I thank you for replying. The website is positiving.com. Currently, there is a Privacy Policy tab there. I had someone help me put a link to the privacy policy on the bottom of the page, but he doesn’t remember how he removed his Privacy Policy tab and that’s why I’m asking the question.

    Basically, I want the privacy policy page to be active and allow someone to go to the privacy policy page when they click on the link ‘privacy policy’ at the bottom of the page, but I don’t want the Privacy Policy tab there.

    Anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance!

    Since you are using a purchased theme, you should be able to get help from the supplier.

    Well, that could be tricky since it was a seminar who set up the site on my behalf so technically the seminar leaders are their customer and I doubt I’d be acknowledged. I’ll give a try though. Thanks for the idea.

    I am guessing that there is no post id exclusion in the theme options. If you will post your header.php file in the pastebin and put a link to it here, I will try to see if I can give more specific help.

    I really appreciate the offer!

    I want to let you and anyone else know, however, that I stumbled upon another free forum and got this question answered!

    The fast answer is that it is easily resolved via the Plugin named “Exclude Pages From Navigation”.
    I couldn’t find it before because I didn’t think to use “exclude pages” as a search term.

    The more in-depth answer (including how to edit code) is located here:

    Thanks again!!

    Oh, and if anyone is wondering, it is the FlexSqueeze theme that I am using.

    That plugin is allowing me to allow those who click on the link at the bottom of my page to see my Privacy Page; but not to have to see it as a tab in the navigation menus.

    And because figuring out how to put a link to it in my footer area was also quite difficult, I’ll share how I was informed to accomplish that (which is working for me).

    In the footer.php file, you’ll want to add this code:
    < a > /”> < ?php bloginfo(‘name’);?> <?php echo stripslashes(get_option(‘flex_foot_links’)); ?>
    < a href=”https:// https://www.YourDomainNameHere.com /privacy-policy”>Privacy Policy</p>

    And that code gets placed under this area like so:
    <p>This blog copyright ?
    <script type=”text/javascript” language=”JavaScript”><!–
    var today = new Date();
    document.write(today.getFullYear());
    //–>
    </script>

    < a > /”> < ?php bloginfo(‘name’);?> <?php echo stripslashes(get_option(‘flex_foot_links’)); ?>
    < a href=”https://www. YourDomainHere .com/privacy-policy”>Privacy Policy</p>

    (Please note: You’ll need to take out the spaces after:
    www. and before .com
    in addition to the spaces between < a and the 2 spaces at > < ?php
    Plus the 2 spaces between < a >
    ~ Sorry: I had to post it this way so that you could see the code correctly.)

    I hope that helps anyone who was just as stuck as I was!

    Glad you got it working. Now, please use the dropdown at top right to mark this topic resolved.

    I most certainly will and the reason I didn’t do so yet is because I wanted to give you the chance to respond so that I knew you know you helped steer me in the right direction!

    Thanks again!
