I GOT IT!

I feel like a crazy person having a conversation with myself on this forum, but there you have it.

To remove the page from the main navigation menu, I pasted this code in my style.css sheet.

page-item-23 {display: none;}

23 is my PageID number, so you need to replace that number with whatever your PageID is. Of course you have to do it for every page, but it works.

So, this way you can make a page Public without it showing up in your main navigation – but if you have a link to it in another page it will show up no problems.

Okay that ALMOST worked.

I didn’t realize I was being allowed to view the posts which were “private” because I was logged into wordpress.

my website:HERE

The POETRY section is a good example of what I would like the pages to look like, with links inside that link to the actual page.

SO…is there a way to have a post “published” but not viewable, or a way to hide the post until I link to it?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

P.S. I have tried the “Exclude Page” widget which removes the page from the page widget but the page still shows up in the main menu. So halfway there, but I still need to remove the page from the main menu.

Whoops!

Fixed this one already.

I posted this text:

function the_title_trim($title) {

$title = attribute_escape($title);

$findthese = array(
‘#Protected:#’,
‘#Private:#’
);

$replacewith = array(
”, // What to replace “Protected:” with
” // What to replace “Private:” with
);

$title = preg_replace($findthese, $replacewith, $title);
return $title;
}
add_filter(‘the_title’, ‘the_title_trim’);

into my Theme Functions.php file. Worked like a charm. Thanks again!
