How to keep wordpress page out of menu bar?

I'm using a free wordpress theme where the page (not posts) links show in the top menu bar. However, there are certain pages I don't want to show there. Can one of you wordpress experts tell me how to block specific pages.

I'd also like to figure out how to put a static link in the menu bar.

Thanks in advance.

 

edit header.php with in the themes folder.

 

Well thats just been extremely unhelpful.

Which theme are you using? Can we have a link to your website?

Either way, i've copied the HTML from my own Wordpress theme below;

<h2>Navigation</h2>
<ul>
<li class="page_item"><a href="http://www.ninedesign.org/" title="Home">Home</a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&sort_column=menu_order'); ?>
</ul>

It includes a static link that I inserted (Home) and then the WP tag that produces the other pages, assorting them in a way that I wanted.

Check the Wordpress Codex (http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages) to learn the arguements you can insert into the WP tag to exclude certain pages.

 

OK, it's fixed. I was dealing with a new forum plugin which was adding titles for all threads and posts into the menu, but fixed it by modifying header.php and adding static link.

Thanks for your help.
