How do you create a page without having it appear in the navigation bar? (Wordpress)

 

In your header.php change

 <?php wp_list_pages(); ?>

Code (markup):

to

 <?php wp_list_pages('exclude=4'); ?>

Code (markup):

where 4 is the ID of the page you don't want listed.

 

how do I find the ID of the page, also I have 'title_li=&depth=1' in the brackets, what does it mean, is it safe to replace it with the exclude command

 

The ID of the page is in the admin panel under Manage->Page.

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1&exclude=4'); ?>

Code (markup):

 

There is an easier way, just make it a sub page. If your theme does not support sub pages in a drop down menu, it will never show up on the navigation menu.
