So – just a non-professional idea – is there something like “is_date” or whatever? * Thank you! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to make page visible in the menu only if staying at that page?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-page-visible-in-the-menu-only-if-staying-at-that-page/) * Thread Starter [Tomas2011](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomas2011/) * (@tomas2011) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-page-visible-in-the-menu-only-if-staying-at-that-page/page/2/#post-4160022) * Thank you for your patience. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to make page visible in the menu only if staying at that page?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-page-visible-in-the-menu-only-if-staying-at-that-page/) * Thread Starter [Tomas2011](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomas2011/) * (@tomas2011) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-page-visible-in-the-menu-only-if-staying-at-that-page/page/2/#post-4160018) * I apologize but this removes Blog from the top menu even in cases when it was displayed originally, and it doesn’t add it there when clicking on the archive month etc. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to make page visible in the menu only if staying at that page?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-page-visible-in-the-menu-only-if-staying-at-that-page/) * Thread Starter [Tomas2011](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomas2011/) * (@tomas2011) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-page-visible-in-the-menu-only-if-staying-at-that-page/page/2/#post-4160013) * I’m sorry for the trouble, but I noticed some odd behaviour in certain scenarios. * When on address myweb.com/blog or myweb.com/blog/postname, all is fine. * But when I click on a month in archive – so the path is myweb.com/blog/2013/ 09/ * on a blog category – myweb.com/blog/category/nameofthecategory/ * or on some tag – myweb.com/blog/tag/nameofthetag/ * the blog section is then again shown without the Blog in the top menu. * Is there some solution to this? If there can be some hard-coded filter to force the display of “Blog” in the top menu every time when there is /blog/ in the address of a page, that would do. Not sure if that is possible though. * Or, alternatively, isn’t it possible to define a “negative” filter for Blog, so I would make the page _public_ but define that everything with /blog/ in address is hidden in the top menu unless a reader is on a page with /blog/ in the address? That could maybe also solve the “dual” behaviour with months etc. in a more straightforward manner? * Thank you very much! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to make page visible in the menu only if staying at that page?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-page-visible-in-the-menu-only-if-staying-at-that-page/) * Thread Starter [Tomas2011](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomas2011/) * (@tomas2011) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-page-visible-in-the-menu-only-if-staying-at-that-page/page/2/#post-4160002) * Yes, this works perfectly, thank you very much! 🙂 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to make page visible in the menu only if staying at that page?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-page-visible-in-the-menu-only-if-staying-at-that-page/) * Thread Starter [Tomas2011](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomas2011/) * (@tomas2011) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-page-visible-in-the-menu-only-if-staying-at-that-page/#post-4159996) * Hi Doug, * Thank you very much!

I have the blog page set as private and can see it (not in the top menu, but via a direct link) when logged out though. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to make page visible in the menu only if staying at that page?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-page-visible-in-the-menu-only-if-staying-at-that-page/) * Thread Starter [Tomas2011](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomas2011/) * (@tomas2011) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-page-visible-in-the-menu-only-if-staying-at-that-page/#post-4159986) * Hello Doug, * I have a static page defined, but I have Welcome page there (I don’t want newcomers who use main domain address – not a blog link – to see my blog). In addition, I see only published pages (i.e. not those private) listed as options for the static page. * Content visiblity link above does not work. * How is it possible then that I can see private page (if I use direct link) when logged out? Can I somehow test if permissions are OK? * Re Exclude Pages – the problem is **I don’t want to take the page out of the menu completely. I want it to be there, but only when the reader is on that page.** * Example – full top menu in administration could be Home * Services * Contact* Blog * When someone lands on my website at top level domain, they will see Home * Services* Contact * When someone visits Blog page of my website through a direct link, they will see Home * Services * Contact * Blog * When someone visits Blog page and then click e.g. on Home in the top menu, they will again see only Home * Services * Contact * Anyway, maybe I understand it better now. Do you suggest I should install Exclude Pages plugin to have “hidden” option for pages, then define Blog as hidden (and not private), and then add your code? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to make page visible in the menu only if staying at that page?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-page-visible-in-the-menu-only-if-staying-at-that-page/) * Thread Starter [Tomas2011](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomas2011/) * (@tomas2011) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-page-visible-in-the-menu-only-if-staying-at-that-page/#post-4159981) * Hello, * Sorry, but I see no option to make a hidden page. I can have – public – password protected – private * I apologize, I know I used “hidden” above which could be misleading. * However I’m able to see the private Blog page (using the direct link) even if I log out. So I presume anyone can visit it, only it is not shown (as private) in the top menu by default. If this is not true, how (where) do I define “hidden” page then? * I’m not hiding any posts, and I put all posts onto a Blog page. * I will try to explain other way: On my website, there is a few pages like Welcome, Services, Contact, Blog. Welcome page is represented by Home menu item, and there is a workaround that prevents “dual” displaying of Welcome menu item. Blog page is private and all posts would go there. * The only think I need differently is to make Blog section – which is private and which uses /blog/ as part of a permalink – visible in the top menu when someone uses a direct link to the Blog, but invisible when someone comes to the main website. All this in a way that Welcome menu item does not reappear (as described in the post above). * Is it better described now? Can you help me? * Thank you! * Tomas * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to make page visible in the menu only if staying at that page?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-page-visible-in-the-menu-only-if-staying-at-that-page/) * Thread Starter [Tomas2011](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomas2011/) * (@tomas2011) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-page-visible-in-the-menu-only-if-staying-at-that-page/#post-4159971) * PS I realized it had one undesired side effect – I have Welcome page, but I have a workaround so that “Home” menu item serves as a link to this Welcome page. So Welcome menu item is invisible. But with the configuration above, when I was on the Home page, both Home and Welcome menu items appeared. 🙂 * So it does something, but – apart from the issue above – I would like to limit this feature only to pages where there are posts. If it can be strictly a condition that the URL/permalink of the page/post have to contain “/blog” for the hidden menu item to appear, that would make me happy.

If I set the page as Private, and go to the URL with blog posts, the page name is not shown in the top menu. * Any other ideas would be much appreciated.
