Remove page from menu hierarchy

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have few pages that I would like to have on my site that I don’t want to appear in the menu hierarchy. One of them is “blog” which is basically a holder page for my nonexistent blog updates. I intend to use this site as a web site, not a blog. How do I have a page without putting that page someplace in the menu hierarchy?

    My theme is twenty ten
    My site is usawccm.wordpress.com.

    Thanks!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    By the way, I do have the CSC update capability, if that makes a difference.

    If you create a custom menu then you can choose exatly what you want to display in it and what not to display in it. Please post and active link to the blog in question starting with http:// so we can help you. The one linked to your username has not blogger created contnet. Is that the blog in question or not?

    Oops! Soory. I need more coffee. I just noticed that you did provide the URL in the OP.

    Staff have provided help for those who want to structure their blog like a website. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

    What’s critical is:
    (1) a clear comprehension of the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
    (2) a clear comprehension of the fact that there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. But we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.

    We organize our posts by assigning Categories to them. When we publish a post it automatically appears on the running page for posts and also on the Categories pages and Archives pages. Note: There must be one published post in each Category in order for there to be anything to display.

    A custom menu allows you to display Categories with drop-downs to sub-categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Pages tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages with drop-downs to sub-pages and/or custom links in your custom menu as well. You are in charge of what appears in a custom menu. You choose the order in which to display any and/or all the foregoing in your custom menu. You choose which to display and which to hide. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus

    Also note that if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page for your site, and also create a “blog” page for your posts to display on, and assign them accordingly on this page > Settings > Reading but that’s optional.

    The blog is http://usawccm.wordpress.com/. I did get rid of the blog menu item by deleting the page, but I still haven’t figured out how to create a page without creating a menu item. Is a custom menu the best way to go?

    Sorry, cross posted.

    There are two appraoches and without being able to see which theme you are using and what you have already done it’s impossible to provide specific advice. If you have created a custom menu and you checkmarked this
    __ Automatically add new top-level pages
    then tany Pages your create will be automatically added to the custom menu. The solution is to remove that checkmarked option and “save” the menu.

    Thanks! I’ll give this a try.
