Removing pages header… Proper tags not used in template

If anyone could help it would be much appreciated. It is pretty urgent and I have searched everywhere for an answer. Maybe Otto42?

First, make a backup of your theme just in case things go wrong. Then, you can replace the list pages code above (be sure to keep <div id="nav">) with:

<?php wp_list_pages(); ?>

Learn about customizing wp_list_pages to include/exclude certain pages here (you will have to customize it and maybe add ul tags around it and span tags around the listed pages as well since the code above has them):

I personally wouldn’t want to try customizing a theme with loads of custom code like this.

Hi, everyone. Well, 3 months have passed since the last message on this one, but i thought that somebody might find my response useful.

Just like blacloch, i used a studiopress template, where i wanted to exclude some certain pages. I’ve spent several hours on different websites, and finally, i got a clue, how to make this template work the way we want it to work. Here’s the code (it goes into nav section of “header.php”):

<div id=”nav”>
<?php
function get_the_pa_ges (){
global $wpdb;
if ( ! $these_pages = wp_cache_get(‘these_pages’, ‘pages’) ) {
$these_pages = $wpdb->get_results(‘select ID, post_title from ‘. $wpdb->posts .’ where post_status = “publish” and post_type = “page” order by ID’);
wp_cache_add(‘these_pages’, $these_pages, ‘pages’);
}
return $these_pages;
}

function list_certain_pages($page_ids=”){
$page_ids = explode(‘,’,$page_ids);
$output = ”;
$these_pages = get_the_pa_ges ();
foreach ($these_pages as $thats_them){
$the_page_id = $thats_them->ID;
if (is_page($the_page_id)) {
$addclass = ‘ class=”current_page”‘;
} else {
$addclass = ”;
}
if (isset($page_ids) && in_array($the_page_id,$page_ids)){
$output .= ‘<li’ . $addclass . ‘>ID).'” title=”‘.$thats_them->post_title.'”><span>’.$thats_them->post_title.'</span>‘;}
}
return $output;
}
?>

<?php

if (is_home()) {
$addclass = ‘ class=”current_page”‘;
} else {
$addclass = ”;
}
echo “<li” . $addclass . “><span>Home</span>“;
echo list_certain_pages(‘5,9’);?>

<div class=”cleared”></div>
</div> <!– Closes Nav –>

In the code you can see above you simply need to change numbers in string “echo list_certain_pages(‘5,9’);?>” with id numbers of your own static pages.

Good luck with your blog ??

I usually install a plugin called Exclude Pages that’ll let me select the pages that will be shown in the navi.
