    Hi everyone,

    Actually I have one Wordpress blog. I have set all the pages up. I wanted one 'Private Policy' Page, so I created it. But I want the 'Private Policy' page link in my Footer only. Right now, it is on my Menu as well as in the Footer.

    Is there any way to remove the 'Private Policy' page link from the menu ? I can put the Page Link in the Footer but I dont want to put that page link on the menu.


    I apologize if this is wrong category to discuss.
    Thanks in advance

    If your theme supports custom menus then go to the menus section and customize it. If it does not support the the menu control that EVERY Wordpress template should support by now (I am being a bit general) then you need to find the php file that controls the header of your theme. This is usually labeled header.php and manually code it in. Making sure you follow the same coding structure that is already being implemented in the theme.

    RobV is right, and I'm guessing your current theme is set up so that it automatically puts all static pages in the navigation menu. If custom menus are enabled, then setting one up will solve the problem. What theme are you using?

    If custom menus are not supported, then you'll need to tamper a bit with your header.php file

    To be more precise, you need to locate the section between <ul> </ul> tags and delete the call to the function which lists your static pages in the navigation menu. This is somewhat primitive approach but it works every time you want something NOT to be shown.

    So for example it should be something like this

    <ul>

    <li><a href="http:// yourwebsitelink">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="http:// yourwebsitelink/ page1">Page 1</a></li>
    <li><a href="http:// yourwebsitelink/ page2">Page 2</a></li>

    </ul>

    Hope it helps ;)
