Exclude Pages from Menu WordPress

WordPress is a great tool for web building whether for blogging, commerce or small business. It does come with some inherent issues that can cause problems. One good example of this is the page to menu system built into many WordPress themes that pushes every page into the main menu of the website. This is handy and convenient for the building of the original menu, but what if you want to exclude pages from menu?

That’s where a simple plugin called Exclude Pages from Navigation comes in. This plugin adds a check box, “include this page in menus”, uncheck this to exclude pages from menu that users see on your site.

To install the plugin, hover over Plugins in the dashboard main menu and select “Add new” from the list. Choose the search option if necessary, and type in “exclude pages.” Then select to download the first plugin in the search list and hit the activate button. Now if you go back to a page on the site in the editor, you’ll see a check box in the lower right hand corner that is checked on for that page to be included. To take it out of the menu, simply uncheck it and hit update.

That’s it, an easy and quick way to exclude pages from menu on WordPress.

Jophiel grew up on a ranch in Paradise Valley, Montana near Chico Hot Springs. Working on the ranch instilled work ethic and self motivation. Filled with this drive, Jophiel started mowing the local school's yards twice a month throughout the summers, at the age of 12. He moved to Billings in 2004, where he has been deeply involved in the local business community ever since. A serial entrepreneur, Jophiel has ran multiple businesses in our local community. The first business, a janitorial and carpet cleaning company, founded in 2005, has employed over 50 locals. Moving on to the media industry, Jophiel and several partners founded Green Directory Montana in the spring of 2007. Green Directory's sustainability ranking software awarded points based on sustainable or "green" actions. These points counted towards a business's total "Green Score," which in turn ranked them against other businesses in their category and throughout the entire site. It also featured a limited edition print version distributed annually. A business acquisition allowed Jophiel to focus on new projects, and a few close business colleagues and Jophiel started Rocky Mountain Mr. & Ms. Magazine, a lifestyle publication for men and women in the Magic City. After a year and a half at the helm of RM3 Magazine, the business was purchased. He now runs a web development company SkyPoint Studios and fathers his son Jaoquin, who plays football, basketball, soccer, and is learning snowboarding from his dad. Recently, has expanded to locations in Havasu, Arizona & Vegas.
