Excellent you answered my next question without me posting it. Your answer did exactly what I needed it to do. However the theme I’m using is also displaying the pages at the top of the page. I was assuming the widget would control that list too, however it doesn’t appear that way. So I’m assuming I need to look in the header for how it’s pulling that list: wp_list_pages and see if I can add your exclude in there.
….almost worked. I’m sure this just comes down to a comma or something. Here’s where it’s at in the header:
<?php if ( get_theme_mod( ‘cat_nav’ )) { wp_list_categories(‘title_li=&depth=1’ ); } else { wp_list_pages(‘title_li=&depth=1’ ); } ?>
And I tried to do this:
<?php if ( get_theme_mod( ‘cat_nav’ )) { wp_list_categories(‘exclude=12,24; title_li=&depth=1’ ); } else { wp_list_pages(‘exclude=21,24 title_li=&depth=1’ ); } ?>
It appears to disregard the title_li part then. So I’m guessing you can’t put two things inside the () or I’m using a ; instead of something else. Any help?
