Exclude Pages is built to operate on all automatic page listings shown in your website, navigation, sidebars, etc; however, don’t despair! If you have WordPress 3.0 or greater you can achieve what you want through use of Menus and the menu widget.

Here’s an article on creating a custom menu: http://codex.wordpress.org/Appearance_Menus_SubPanel

Here’s an article on using a custom menu in a widget (it’s for the WordPress.com service, but will apply equally to a self-hosted WordPress website): http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/custom-menu-widget/

Good luck!

I’ve installed the exclude pages from navigation plugin to regulate how many pages are listed in my top, horizontal nav bar. It works perfectly. What I want to know is how do I get the pages I’m excluding from the nav bar to still show up in the sidebar? I want ALL my pages listed in the sidebar.

I have a total of 8 pages, 5 of which are shown in the navbar. Is there anyway to get all 8 listed in the sidebar?

I thought the exclude pages plugin ONLY excluded pages from the navbar NOT from the sidebar.

Thanks ever, Ellie

Great plugin, I use it on pretty much every WP site I create!

A site I have just finished is a members site where I’ve created a custom post type called MembersPages where the content is only visible to subscribed members.

As you’re probably aware your plugin only adds the meta box to the page admin screen so it’s not possible for me to use your plugin to exclude the custom post type from the navigation menu even though the custom post type is setup with page capabilities.

I have modified the plugin by duplicating your add_meta_box statement and making it do the same for my custom post type.

I’m just saying, in the future it would be great if you could expand the plugin to cover custom post types.

Awesome plugin, I’ve used it in a couple projects and worked great… Now I’m working on a project where I also installed bbpress and included wordpress wp-load.php to benefit of WP codex in bbpress… the problem is your plugin seems to stop working in bbpress and results in messing the website’s layout any idea how I could make it work? I prefer your plugin over excluding manually pages via wp_list_pages…

Any advice highly appreciated
