Create a static page without an automatic menu item
I'm trying to create a static page, which is linked only from a particular post. I don't want it to appear as a menu item.
I was able to do this by creating menu items for all the pages I do want to appear... but that's a lot of pages in my case. I would prefer to use automatic menu building and just exempt a single file from the menu. My current workaround is to use a link to an external page, but that's not ideal. If there were some setting in the creation of a static page, which told HTMLy whether to create a menu item, that would seem like the ideal approach.
Sorry... I didn't explain well.... I akready do as you suggest.
But I wanted to use automatic menu items EXCLUDING a certain page... maybe with a check box in the page editor to generate or not generate a menu for that page. Is that a feature you would accept?
if you enable custom menu, your static page should not automatically enter the menu bar
No offense, but why on earth you want to do this with HTMLy? Maybe a flat-file CMS or wiki like, e.g., DokuWiki or PmWiki, better fits your needs.
None taken. I'm experimenting with several apps and HTMLy sounded like a possibility. Funny, I had forgotten about DokuWiki... I used it some years back for software documentation.
That's too bad. Of course I've worked around the issue by now anyway.
Back when I asked if you'd accept a PR for the feature, I had time on my hands, which I no longer do anyway. From one open source guy to another... that's what happens if you don't give volunteers a yes/no answer fairly quickly. I've probably done the same myself once or twice. :-(
