    Regarding LeaderOfThePack.biz

    Having some trouble getting my blog to look right. I want to have a static page “Dog Behavior & Agility Training” appear as my home page. I’ve got that right through the Dashboard / Control Panel / Admin Section (call it what you will) … but the page name still appears in the Menu, so it’s both Home & the separate page.

    How can I make this page NOT show up in the menu? I’m using the theme ‘Eye Candy 10’.

    Thanks for your help!

    In the codex, there are parameters you can set for pages.

    You need to find teh theme files, which are in your wordpress folder under WP-Contents/themes/eye_candy_10 (or something similar). You can do this through the theme editor from the dashboard/ presentation / theme editor. The files need to be set with the correct permissions.

    Then you find the sidebar or menu that you are talking about, find the code pertaining to the page in question, and then include parameters in the code arguments. Which parameters you need, you will find in the codex link above. If it is what I think it is – you will only need an (exclude=”page ID”) type of code.

    If you run into questions, post em here!

    Good luck,
    Cathy

    PS – make copies before you start changing your theme files.

    Thanks Cathy – good guidance! Actually, I changed wp_list_pages() to wp_list_categories() and it works just the way I want.

    Much appreciated!!!!!!
