• I decided to try to make a menu because I thought that meant a bar with a pull down menu but nothing happened even though I added 10 of my pages. So I deleted all the menus as it was not what I thought and looked ugly. I went on my site later and now every single page it seems, from my website, is now at the top of every page, complete with a link to it. It has the page name in full also. This is so annoying and I need it fixed quickly.

    The links don’t appear when I use edit so it’s not in the body of any page.
    I deleted all the menus so it’s not that but it seems to maybe be a malfunction of this.

    I had some boring theme for ages that I didn’t change (Lovecraft) so I don’t see why it would be that. Everything is free and basic. I have no plugins.

    I saw this page in search results which sounds similar to my problem but the person very unhelpfully fixed their own problem then bailed without leaving the answer: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/cant-remove-page-links-from-top-navigation/

    Strangely this is something that I was wanting as I wanted to make an index of all the pages on my site and it just appeared and did so in an annoying way that I can’t even remove. I was getting quite a bit of new visitors and now they are going to need to scroll through at least 3 pages of this weird index before they can even see the first line of each page…

    Thanks.

  • Try giving more information about the problem. When it started did you install any new plugins. What theme you are using and a URL to the page you are having problem with.

    You can try disabling your plugins to see if the problem goes away. If it does re enable them one at a time until the problem comes back. If it a plugin problem you should contact the plugin developer for help.

    Delete your post. I literally just told you I don’t have any plugins. It’s free I have no plugins. I also told you the theme. I knew this would happen. Now it looks like someone is helping me or I have an answer

    Not sure what extra info you want. And i’ll need to delete my replies too

    it is a ‘feature’ of your theme to show all pages if you do not use the ‘primary’ menu;

    code is in header.php:

    <?php if ( has_nav_menu( 'primary' ) ) {
    
    						$menu_args = array(
    							'container' 		=> '',
    							'items_wrap' 		=> '%3$s',
    							'theme_location' 	=> 'primary',
    						);
    
    						wp_nav_menu( $menu_args );
    
    					} else {
    
    						$list_pages_args = array(
    							'container' => '',
    							'title_li' 	=> '',
    						);
    
    						wp_list_pages( $list_pages_args );
    
    					} ?>
    

    if you do niot want those pages, delete this part of the code:

    
    					} else {
    
    						$list_pages_args = array(
    							'container' => '',
    							'title_li' 	=> '',
    						);
    
    						wp_list_pages( $list_pages_args );
    
    					}

    Thanks that seems on the right subject. I don’t use code though. Obviously I can try but do you reckon me adding a primary menu back will fix it? This seems like such a weird feature. When the menu was up there was nothing on it that I can remember and no menu visible. Hence why I just deleted it completely.

    When I was looking at my page since this happened I would see something appear with 3 lines, I assume that was a menu, and indeed when I clicked it my pages were all there in a drop down menu. But it appears and disappears. This is so weird. I might go over to the lovecraft area thanks.

    Hold on, also, if it’s in the code doesn’t that mean I’d have to remove it individually from every single page? (I have like 100) ??

    if it’s in the code doesn’t that mean I’d have to remove it individually from every single page?

    no – the header part for all pages (actually for everything in your site) is done by the one template file header.php of your theme.

    Oh that’s weird. That’s above my knowledge level but I think I get what you’re saying.

    I put a menu back on and ticked primary and didn’t add anything which seems to have fixed it (in other words, back to how it was). Do you reckon it would have?

    I just read if you change themes it can wipe your stuff so I probably shouldn’t try changing themes now either even if I change back. Thankyou for the help and especially the example. If something pops back up I’m sure I can get rid of it with that. I am much less stressed now. Not sure if I should mark as resolved. Maybe I’ll wait a while and see if I get any more comments / convo happening.
