[Plugin: Exclude Pages] Exclude is not working well on large websites

I am also having this problem all of a sudden. I do not have a site as extensive as yours that I am working on but as you stated, this is a very important plugin. I appreciate any feedback, thank you.

Also, is there anyone out there with a small website that is having this issue? Or is it truly a problem with websites with more than a handful of pages?

I am having the same problem. It has now occurred twice. Is there a fix? Does anyone know of another plug in that accomplishes this? I am no power user and don’t want to mess with lines of code if I can avoid it. I have hundreds of pages and cannot deal with resetting them every few weeks. It seems to occur after I add a new excluded page.

I figured out a simple hack that mostly fixes this problem. I put all of my hidden pages behind a parent page I call Hide Page, then I hid the Hide Page from navigation. Not perfect, but if the plug in fails again I only have to re-hide one page.

Have exactly the same problem on a smaller website. The hack of ‘hide page’ works, but this is not great as part of the SEO. Hope the problem will be fixed soon.

Somehow it has to do with the theme. When I change it to an other theme, all works fine. So I in- and excluded pages and changed back to the old theme. The pages have changed successfully, but the problem persists again. So the plugin stills seems to be working.

You may have been able to resolve it for the time being, but in my experience the problem will come up again if not today, or tomorrow, soon. Let us know here on the forum how you make out but I though I had resolved the issues multiple times and finally had to hardcode the navigation as an alternative and won’t go back to using the plugin until I know something has been resolved and/or we hear from the plugin developer.
