    Hello,

    I'm working on this page: http://www.nerdynomad.com/map and I'd like for it not to show up in the header index until it's done. How can I disable it without deleting it?

    Thanks!
    Kirsty

    You can restrict access from IPs different from yours with htaccess but don't ask me how to do it, because I don't know the syntax.

    Do one of two things:

    1. Do all test work on an internal site. Only add the page/addon when it is ready to go live on your site.
    2. Hardcode the pages in your header instead of using the wp_list_pages() function.

    Changing the Page Status from Published to Private should do what you want. That only works with WordPress 2.1 and up but I do it all the time.
