how to hide sub-pages from showing

  • I’m using the whiteboard theme and trying to hide subpages from showing in the navigation menu. I found some tutorials on the subject and I think this code can do do the trick

    <?php wp_list_pages(‘depth=1’); ?>

    but I don’t know where to place place it.. I tried pasting it randomly but nothing happens. I’m also trying to avoid plugins for this and keep it as simple as I can.

    Please help meh!

  • Find that code in your themes template files. It is probably in your themes header.php file or the themes sidebar.php file. All your themes files are stored in the themes folder in the wp-content/themes folder.

    Thanks for responding!

    The problem is that I can’t find the code. I looked in all .php. I think I have to add it but I don’t know where exactly. I tried but nothing happens..

    have you a link to your site?

    I tried pasting it under <div id=”headernav”>

    but a duplicate navigation appears above the original

    You would need to replace this:
    <?php wp_page_menu(); ?>

    Thanks that worked!

    do you know how remove the text “pages” in the beginning of the page links? I don’t know why it shows up.

    Use this:

    <?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&title_li='); ?>

    Reading this page will help:
