pages and menu options

  • I am creating a site that will have multiple pages,however I can’t figure out how to keep the pages showing up in the top horizontal menu. I just want them down the left column under the listed page. Ideas?

    and thank you in advance.

    I think I have something wrong. I want to add numerous pages but I do not want them in the menu above the body area. Every time I had a page wp creates a tab at the top. If I add 20 pages that’s 20 tabs, not sure what I did wrong :/

    the plugin adds a box to check if you don’t want pages added to menu
    activate plugin
    then edit a page in the dashboard and look in the right sidebar to exclude page from menu

    Yes I have tried that.

    I even went so far to delete all my pages and start from scratch. Every time I add a page it shows up on the horizontal menu. When I uncheck the box it disappears from the left column and horizontal menu.

    I’m at a loss. I’ll just find a work around.

    I’ve used this trick before, In your theme:

    Modify the call that lists the pages to require a specific meta key:

    There are examples at the link above. Then when you publish your pages only add the meta key to the ones you want shown.

    You can also choose to include only specific page ids. You can see that with the above function in your theme you could do it 100 different ways. Whatever works best.

    I’ll have to wait till my tech guy is available, I really don’t like to mess with code.
    While this may be a solution it certainly is added work if a site has more than one theme. Some sites have seasonal templates or even like to change templates to keep it looking fresh.
    I am curious as to why a check box feature isn’t already programmed into WP since not every page needs to be a menu item or tab.

    Thanks for the help ?? it is appreciated!
