Go to your theme section of your admin panel and click on “Vigilance Options”. You’ll see an area to exclude pages from the top menu.

Find the page id by going to your pages list and hovering over the link. You’ll see something ending with: “action=edit&post=##”. That ## is the ID of your page which you want to insert in your Vigilance Options area.

Hi Allan,

Could you please provide links to the pages that work and the ones that do work? This will help everyone see an example of what is wrong.

Regarding the page color, here’s the code:

#page {
	background-color: #fff;
	margin: 20px auto;
	padding: 0;
	width: 860px;
	}

Change that to #CCC; and you should have the tan color

Hi Myles,

You have it right on. Just don’t select anything for your posts and they will be hidden.

try this in your css:

#caption{
margin-left:#px;
margin-top:#px;}

replace those numbers with something that works for you. Note that each number represents one pixel you will be moving it, starting from the left/top. So, margin-left:1px; would create a 1 pixel margin between the left side of the header and the beginning of the text.

I hope that helps.

Hi Paul,

I recommend you get a few books on HTML and CSS – I think a small investment in them will turn out to save you some time and hassle through the future. In addition, you may find it useful to start picking some wordpress blogs (there are plenty here in the showcase forum) and looking through the source code to see how these sites were coded. You can do this by right clicking and selecting “view source”. In the source code will be a link to the site’s stylesheet (ending with style.css) which you could put into a new web window and also view.

I’ve also noticed some more things with your code:

<!-- <h1 id="header"><a href="http://3ryd.com/wp/"></a></h1>
-->
<h1 id="header><a href="http://3ryd.com/wp"><img alt="" src="http://3ryd.com/wp/wp-content/themes/classic/kubrickheader.jpg"/></a></h1>

I would foremost recommend you delete that commented section since it doesn’t look like it’s being used. Second, you forgot a ” after the word header in your h1 tag. Be sure you are indeed using quotation marks for your coding and not two apostrophes.

From what I have seen, h1, h2, h2, etc tags are generally used for text headings. Example:

<div id="header">
<h1>The Dog Blog: How to Train Your Dog</h1>
</div>

CSS would handle styling, including the size of the elements, any borders, font properties, background images, etc. That is MY way of doing it – I am not saying it’s the right way.

The method you are using certainly works and I am pretty sure I have used that method when I was just starting out. I think learning HTML and CSS is about getting comfortable and getting experience – in the beginning, even if something may be considered “wrong” or “improper”, it may work – and when you are still learning that’s key. Find your way and learn as you go – it took me 5 years and I still am figuring out some things every now and then.

Let me know if you have any more questions or need more help.

Yes, you have to add it.

You have a point, I guess it’s just a matter of preference.

It still confuses me why the theme called on globalnav. I installed the same theme, but a newer version and that function wasn’t there – they are using wp_list_pages in the newer version. I installed the theme to try to see the functions.php but obviously it turned out to be irrelevant in assisting me.
