   Hi everyone,

   I know that there are plugins which prevent posts from appearing on the home page, etc.

   However, I need something more than that.

   I'm working on a site which is made up of pages. One of the pages is the blog. I have this blog page designated in the Reading settings as the page on which posts appear.

   However - the theme I'm using included a number of pre-populated posts (I can change the content) which can appear in an upper menu (a narrow bar immediately above the site header). The problem is that if I set these particular posts (which actually act as menus) to appear in the upper menu, they also appear in the page I've designated as a blog.

   That's a problem, because they (the upper menu posts) are not blog posts; they appear in the upper menu as titles which are links to the posts themselves.

   Just the way this theme is set up.

   Is there a way to prevent just these "menu posts" from appearing in the page I've designated as a blog while still allowing them to appear in the upper navigation menu of the site?

   Can I create some sort of category to which I can assign them that excludes them from the page I've designated as the blog?

   Really appreciate your help! The site in question is HERE.

   Thanks!

   Just a suggestion add them to a category and exclude that category in index.php with wp_query() then reset the query.

   Example Twenty Ten theme two code blocks:

   get_header(); ?>
   
   	<div id="container">
   		<div id="content" role="main">
   
   		<?php
   		// Code to remove homepage posts
   		$query = new WP_Query( 'cat=-12' );
   		?>
   
   		<?php
   		/* Run the loop to output the posts.
   		 * If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
   		 * called loop-index.php and that will be used instead.
   		 */
   		 get_template_part( 'loop', 'index' );
   		?>
   
   		<?php
   		// Code to reset the query
   		wp_reset_query();
   		?>
   
   		</div><!-- #content -->
   	</div><!-- #container -->
   
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>
