# Exclude by meta_key

 * An excellent plugin – thanks.
    I can exclude pages by id, but I would like to
   exclude by a custom field. This is because I am adding quite a number of pages
   with a specific custom field, that will not appear in menus, and I wish to exclude
   these from the PageList, without having to add their id each time to the shortcode.
 * I see that I can include by meta_key. Would it be possible to add exclude by 
   meta_key functionality at some point?
    Thanks again
