   Is there a way to exclude a page from wp_list_pages by Page Title or Page Slug. I cannot know the ID in advance so i cannot use

   wp_list_pages('exclude=3')

   I am trying to get this to work:

   wp_list_pages(get_page_link(get_page_by_title('Publish Post')->ID))

   but I cannot.

   Many thanks

   $page = get_page_by_title('About');
   wp_list_pages('exclude='.$page->ID);

   Thankyou. It works, but I forgot to mention that there is more than one page to exclude.

   I have studied the codex to see how to put them in an array but no luck.

   So far I have this:

   $page = get_page_by_title (array(
   'About'),
   ('Privacy'),
   ('Disclaimer')
   ));

   But it only excludes the first page 'About'.

   Thank you.

   You'd have to get each value individually.

   OK. I have got the values individually like this:

   $page1 = get_page_by_title ('About');
   $page2 = get_page_by_title ('Services');
   $page2 = get_page_by_title ('Privacy');

   and they all work. For example:

   wp_list_pages('exclude='.$page1->ID);
   wp_list_pages('exclude='.$page2->ID);
   wp_list_pages('exclude='.$page3->ID);

   But I cannot seem to combine them so that a single instance of wp_list_pages excludes all of them.

   I know this is no where near right, but the result I am seeking is:

   wp_list_pages('exclude='.$page1->ID, .$page2->ID, .$page3->ID);

   Thanks for your help so far. Sorry not to have figured this.

   $args = 'exclude=' . $page1->ID . ',' . $page2->ID . ',' . $page3->ID
   wp_list_pages($args);

   Thank you!

   For others seeking this solution (provided by MichaelH):-

   The code for excluding pages when you know the Title but not the ID. The following is an example excluding three pages from the menu.

   <?php
   $page1 = get_page_by_title ('About');
   $page2 = get_page_by_title ('Services');
   $page3 = get_page_by_title ('Privacy Policy');
   
   wp_list_pages('exclude=' . $page1->ID . ',' . $page2->ID . ',' . $page3->ID);
   ?>

   Is there any way to make it so that when you exclude a page it also excludes all the sub-pages under it? Rather than having to put the sub-pages in manually?

    Hi,
    I have a question related to excluding pages from nav bar but not excluding from page source. Because all the exclude option does is make the page private and I don't want the page to be private

    any suggestions
