Thanks a ton, Michael, for your prompt assistance!

You solved the mystery regarding my page id exclude not working. Something so simple, so hidden. I guess my thinking was too logic. Anyway, at least I don’t have to worry about that one any more and can finally get back to theme-ing with a shorter menu bar ??

I will leave the non-functioning page widget for what it is, since the hard coded one works.

Again, many thanks!

Thanks for that confirmation, Michael,

I thought the code was clean and I probably have something confused then.

I assumed the page ID # to be the same as the Order #, in Attributes, in the lower right hand side of the Edit Page window.

As such I have:
Welcome = 0
Permalink: https://localhost:8888/wordpress/home/

About = 2
Permalink: https://localhost:8888/wordpress/about/

FAQ = 3

Etc.

And with that # I have been trying to exclude pages; which doesn’t seem to work right in my case.

If there is another number for these pages I need to use, how could I verify it?

My permalink choice right now is: https://localhost:8888/wordpress/2009/01/sample-post/

Again, thanks Michael.

It is/was the default theme that came with 2.7, yes, until I started to modify some little things to mold it towards an existing design. The minor edits, which I verified after each step, mainly involve gathering related CSS sections together, changing some CSS code … And everything seems to function and display fine.

The code inside my header.php can now be found at:

pastebin

Thanks for the quick reply, Michael.

a) All plugins deactivated.

Pages is listed as an available widget, but I cannot add it. There is no add link in the pages widget to click on.

All other widgets below it do have the add link and behave properly.

b) thanks for that confirmation.

Hopefully functionality will be expanded in the future.

c) The wp_list_pages in the sidebar it works properly, when added there.

In the menu header it does not.

Using the simplest code in the menu:
<?php wp_list_pages(‘exclude=2’ ); ?>
I can hide page 2, but, only page 2 … any other single number does not hide?

Ditto for code like:

<?php wp_list_pages(‘exclude=0,1&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=’); ?>

Which should omit the pages section on top and leave out #0 and #1.

I’m more than puzzled by the last issue.

This is the fashion by which it is presented in the header.php; which I think should be fine, and not cause any problems as to showing how many of the 10 pages specifically.

<div id="menubar">
 <div id="menu">
   <ul>
      <?php wp_list_pages('exclude=1&title_li='); ?>
   </ul>
 </div>
</div>

– noob alert –

How does one exactly use this patch?

Do you have to delete every single entry? … can you mass delete them?
Then edit the import routine?
Then start importing again?

I needed 5 imports to get 99% of my 400+ entries. Not exactly looking forward to that.

Is there a conversion routine to get the # back to words?

Plus can somebody please tell the WP heads in charge that the bug is not fixed and it is not case closed. They may know what the issue is, but it is present on my new wordpress install.
