Remove a Page from Main Navigation

Hi Rob,

In your perch_pages_navigation call, make sure you aren't you aren't setting 'include-hidden'=>true.

For example, this will not show the hidden pages:

perch_pages_navigation(['levels'=>1,'hide-extensions'=>true,'hide-default-doc'=>true,'add-trailing-slash'=>true,'include-hidden'=>false,'use-attributes'=>false]);

Hi Alex,

I dont seem to have a perch_pages_navigation file but I have looked in my navigation folder and there is no tag that is set to true for include hidden.

Thanks

Hi Rob,

There shouldn't be a file called that - it's the PHP call you use to tell Perch to output the navigation into the page. Do you know where you are doing that? Can you show me what your perch_pages_navigation(); line looks like?

Hi Alex,

The navigation appears to be hardcoded in.

Thanks

Rob

Hi Rob,

Are you talking about hiding the pages in page list in Perch Admin, or hiding them from the navigation that is displayed on your front-end site?

I would like to hide the from the navigation that is on the front end.

OK - just wanted to double check!

If your navigation is hard-coded (i.e you aren't using perch_pages_navigation(); to output your site's navigation); then Perch isn't actually controlling the navigation output and the 'Hide from main navigation' checkbox in Page Options won't actually do anything.

I thought so. I tried commenting it out but the page is still there. I would like to to be there in Perch but not displayed on the front end.
