   Hi all

   As my php coding skills are still newbie-ish...

   I want to exclude 2 pages from my sidebar list in a particular template. Their ID's are 56 & 57

   My current template code includes the following PHP:

   <?php if (is_page()) { $highlight = "page_item"; } else {$highlight = "page_item current_page_item"; } ?>
   <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li='); ?>

   Any PHP'er can point out to me what to adjust / add in order to achieve this for this template?

   As always, all help appreciated!

   Kind regards

   Hardhat :)

   I'm sure you read the Codex for this sort of questions?
   It's very helpfull sometimes :-)

   Hi G

   I read it, but am having difficulty trying to figure out exactly where to put the 'exclude'.

   Told you I was a newbie.

   Can any kind soul just give me some code on this?

   That's the code you can use in your sidebar.php (it says: "list, except these few"), but my guess is that you use widgets? In that case it might be easier to look for a plugin to do the trick for you.

   Hi G

   Sorry to contradict, but, no, I don't use widgets.

   I've got the whole "list except these few" thing but, as I'm not a PHP-happy coder, I don't know how to incorporate that request into my existing template without destroying the existing functionality.

   Again, at the risk of seeming a little pushy, I'm just hoping for someone who's PHP-savvy to just show me the adjusted code - amended from the block I supplied - to incorporate back into my template.

   Again, all help appreciated.

   I'm not either, but you can only learn by trying. My first guess would be:

   <?php wp_list_pages('exclude=17,38 sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li='); ?>

   No PHP required. Just excellent reading and Copy/Paste skills. So go back to the Codex article and read it again. And again...

   OK chums

   I get the whole 'learn by digging' thing too, but, considering this is my day off I guess maybe I was being somewhat lazy... :)

   Alright, as a non-PHP savvy guy let me try this one on you:

   As I'm using a hacked-about version of an Andreas Wiklund template, I have another string of PHP in my page template (as opposed to theheader template code I mentioned at the start of this post).

   The code runs:

   <?php list_subpages_andreas01(); ?> <?php // This generates the subpage menu. If you don't want to use it, delete this line. ?>

   Now, Was I on the right track with the original code block, or is this the block that requires adjustment?

   Please note: (if it makes any difference) that it is my right-hand sub-page menu, as opposed to my left-hand main menu that I'm trying to exclude certain pages from
