Hi All

Is it possible to create new pages that don’t appear on the side or top menus ? And create links from inside the main text on a page to these new pages, as you would on any normal website.

If this isn’t clear please post that in a reply.

Thanks all in advance.

Ashley

yes, it is possible… but it requires editing your header and your sidebar in your theme.

find the wp_list_pages function in both your header and your sidebar, and then follow the instructions on this page http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages to exclude certain page IDs from either spot.

if this sounds too hard, try a plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/

or you could plug some words into the search thingy, if you wanted options.

For that part, you just need to view the page (e.g. through your admin page), copy the URL of the page, and use that for your links.

A pain, but that’s how I’ve always done it — haven’t found a good plugin to easily make internal links from the editor; would be interested in hearing about one if anyone has recommendations.
