So it happens – how to exclude pages from the wordpress menu. It happened to me because I wanted a page rather than a post – I can’t remember why now – but when I added it – the menu navigation got all messed up because I had so many words in the title of the page.

But how to keep the page and just not have it show up in the menu?

There’s a great little plug in I found that worked the trick. Its called – Exclude Pages – you can find it by going to the wordpress.org list of plugins – Exclude Pages plug in.

Its simple to use – just install – then while you’re still in the Admin Area – got to PAGES – click on the EDIT if your page already exists, if not make a page. Then scroll down on that ADD NEW PAGE screen and on the lower righthand side you will see a box to check or uncheck depending on if you want or don’t want the page added to the navigational bar in your wordpress theme.

Let me know how this works for you. Happy WordPressing!
