Jim, the plugin does not handle that aspect of the navigation. However, you can easily remove items from your navigation by adding a custom field to the pages you want displayed, and then filtering them by using the wp_list_pages function. This function has an attribute called meta_key

, and if  you set this to the value that you used when defining the custom field, it will include this page for output - excluding all other pages that do not have this custom field set.

This will only help me if I can use this system to “not include” pages that I do not want to appear in the navigation menu at the top of the page. Will this allow me to do that?

Cristian, thanks for the comments As of this time, I don’t intend to enhance the plugin (it was mainly built just to satisfy my annoyance for ordering pages around the old manual way.

Feel free to build onto this though, using your suggestions – it definitely sounds like a good idea!

Continuing the idea:

Line 144:
post_title; ?>

In the template:
$mike_menu = mike_menu_function(); //return ‘include=3,5,4,7′
wp_list_pages($mike_menu);

Mike,

Great work!

This could be the best menu plugin ever for WP if you only add an option for making them visible in the menu (and a function calling the wp_list_pages() including just marked ones).

mike_menu();

Philip: There’s not a whole lot different between this one and PageMash; however, one slight improvement that mine offers is that the navigation is updated ‘on-the-fly’ – no need to click a submit/update button after the menu is sorted. Mine sorts as soon as you ‘drop’ the selected page on the target.

How is this different than the PageMash plugin?

Hi Tim,

The issue was fixed earlier today; you’ll need to download version 1.02. The prior version had a problem with the assets being in the wrong folder, so when I was calling them from the main plugin file, they were not being found.
