Title: exclude parameter Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # exclude parameter * [mike008](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mike008/) * (@mike008) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-parameter/) * I need help using the exclude paramater for wp_list_pages. I understand how to do it by using the pageid but is there any way to specify exclude all sub-pages for a specific page? I’m actually using the [fold page list plugin](http://www.webspaceworks.com/resources/wordpress/30/), but it uses the same parameters as the wp_list_pages. * This: * ID); ?> * works great for the rest of my pages, but I’ve got a pictures page with too many subpages. * thanks Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-parameter/#post-573545) * What about the depth parameter? * Thread Starter [mike008](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mike008/) * (@mike008) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-parameter/#post-573546) * I looked into the depth parameter, but I need the other pages to display the subpages when they are clicked. Unless is there a way to specify the page depth for Page=Pictures? * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-parameter/#post-573568) * The only way I can see it at this moment – to use a [conditional tag](http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags) to say something like: if is_page(XX) wp-list-pages with depth=1 else wp-list- pages (normal) * Thread Starter [mike008](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mike008/) * (@mike008) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-parameter/#post-573601) * ok, I think that would work… except for the sub-pages of Pictures, cause the id or page name would need to be added to the if statement. That solution will work for now though b/c I don’t plan on adding any subpages anytime soon. * I can’t seem to get this to work though… I’ve tried this: * ;} else { ID); ?>; } ?> * which doesn’t work… which I thought might be b/c of the “” within the if statement. So I tried this: * ID) ; } ?> * Still nothing. :S * The page’s source is empty when I load it: * * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-parameter/#post-573603) * Try this (Warning: I not a coder!): * ``` ID); ?> ``` * Thread Starter [mike008](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mike008/) * (@mike008) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-parameter/#post-573618) * lol Thanks for your warning 😉 * But I think you could be, cause it worked! * Well… almost perfect, I had to actually change it to: * ``` ID); ?> ID); ?> ``` * so it would populate within the unordered list correctly! * Thank you very much! Kudos * Thread Starter [mike008](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mike008/) * (@mike008) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-parameter/#post-573660) * Update – just in case someone else has a similar problem, thought I would post the finised product. * I also found a way to hide the child pages while viewing the child pages without having to add each additional page name or id to the original if statement. It’s a simple function that [Nicholas Roussos](http://www.nicholasroussos.com/2007/04/wordpress-ischild-function.html) put together. * Heres my final if statement: * ``` ID); ?> ID); ?> ID); ?> ``` Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘exclude parameter’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [exclude](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/exclude/) * [page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/page/) * [subpage](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/subpage/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 7 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [mike008](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mike008/) * Last activity: [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-parameter/#post-573660) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
