The final rule simply reads: * `#subpages ul.submenu li ul li a{ display: none; }` * Voila! * File under ‘hiding in plain sight’! * Many thx to Langsuyar for the earlier help. * H 🙂 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to hide child pages in submenu?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-hide-child-pages-in-submenu/) * Thread Starter [Hardhat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hardhat/) * (@hardhat) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-hide-child-pages-in-submenu/#post-846842) * OK. I’ve looked into things a bit further and think I realise what the real problem is. * As far as I can work out the theme is doing exactly what it should do in terms of defining the `$depth` for child pages. All of the various functions within the theme (ie: list subpages, etc) are contained within a `functions.php` file. * The problem I face is that I think I may not have defined the problem accurately. * My real problem is to **not** show _**secondary**_ child pages on only _**certain**_ top level parent pages. * I suppose the question I’m asking is: is it possible to write a one-off rule ( be php or CSS) that I can incorporate into certain template pages to **not** show the secondary children pages? The idea is that, by using a separate template page, the secondary children would then be shown on any first-level child page that is viewed. * Hope that makes sense! lol * Again, any input appreciated. * H 🙂 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to hide child pages in submenu?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-hide-child-pages-in-submenu/) * Thread Starter [Hardhat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hardhat/) * (@hardhat) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-hide-child-pages-in-submenu/#post-846759) * Thanks for the tips L. * I’ll give it a go and report back. * Best wishes. * H 🙂 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to hide child pages in submenu?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-hide-child-pages-in-submenu/) * Thread Starter [Hardhat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hardhat/) * (@hardhat) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-hide-child-pages-in-submenu/#post-846731) * Hi Langsuyar * The code you supplied worked exactly as I’d hoped, hiding the child pages for subpages…except if hides the child pages when you click on anyone of those subpage links. In other words, it’s an ‘all or nothing’ global rule). * Any idea how I can make it more granular? * If not, whereabout is the code would be the best place to look for, or define, the `$depth` for a particular template? * Best wishes * H 🙂 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Static homepage menu question](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/static-homepage-menu-question/) * Thread Starter [Hardhat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hardhat/) * (@hardhat) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/static-homepage-menu-question/#post-536378) * **d**: couldn’t agree more. 🙂 * I suppose the only thing I’d add before wrapping this up is that the possible issue with legacy themes not supporting static homepages without tweaking should be Codex’d. * Just FYI * Thanks all * **Hardhat** Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 25 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hardhat/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hardhat/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
