Moose, yup, as soon as we nail it down 😉

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>' . __('Pages') . '</h2>&exclude=69,66' ); ?>
would exclude pages 69 and 63. Make sure there’s no single-quote between the numbers. It’s the exact same syntax as the exclude argument for wp_list_cats.

Your exact line in the sidebar.php template file should read:
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>' . __('Pages') . '</h2>&exclude=16' ); ?>

Just copy and paste 🙂 Let me know. It’s possible WP doesn’t like this because you’re ON page 16 but it’s trying to exclude it from the pagelist in the sidebar.

EDIT: Gads I hate posting code in this thing 🙁

Yup, there’s a comment bug in the Jan11 nightly for sure, I’m getting the same error.

Gonna try to slap it around a little…

Create a template file in your theme folder and name it menu.php (any name is good, really). It should contain the following lines:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Menu
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="content" class="widecolumn">

<h2>Menu:</h2>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

(this is using the 1.5 default template as an example).

Then, in the admin section, create a new page (or edit the menu page you’ve already created there), and change the template to menu. Viola 🙂

I think….

I’m a liar!

The tag you call from your template, wp_list_pages, will accept an exclude parameter 🙂

So, in your admin interface, look up the ID number of the page you want to make invisible, then change the tag from:
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>' . __('Pages') . '</h2>' ); ?>
to:
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>' . __('Pages') . '</h2>&exclude=69' ); ?>
for example 🙂

Bad bad idea. While technically 1.5 can use the same database as 1.2, it’s only possible if you modify the wp-config.php file so you’re using a prefix other than the default wp_. In other words, any number of WordPress installations can share a database, but the must all use their own group of tables within it.

So no, you will not be able to use 1.2 data with 1.5. The database would need to be upgraded (/wp-admin/upgrade.php), which would make it break with 1.2 after.
