Portfolio: Visually Remove Pages From Navigation

by John Kolbert | Posted in: Portfolio



Mike needed a plugin to quickly solve a problem he was having: stop pages from being listed in navigation areas without having to adjust his theme files. This one was a quick plugin that saved him a lot of time.

The Problem

Theme developers like to use WordPress’ built in wp_list_pages() function which displays all of the site’s pages in an HTML formatted list. The problem is that Mike didn’t want all of his pages listed in the pages list and didn’t want to have to continually modify theme files everytime he added a page.

The Solution

Mike’s plugin gives him an easy way to visually remove pages from the pages list. Simply checking a box on the “Edit Page” screen removes that page from the wp_list_pages() generated page lists. Problem solved! Now Mike doesn’t have to edit his theme files and he can keep his navigation uncluttered.

    Dear John,

    I seem unable to to find a download link for the plugin you have created for Mike. (I have searched the WP plugins directory and Google) Are you publishing it for others benefit or is the plugin for the client and the client only?

    I (and presumably many others) would greatly benefit from your hard work.

    I am working on a shoestring budget but a small donation would not be out of the question!

    Best wishes,

    James
