Excluding Pages in Studio Press Theme

As some of you may or may not know, Daily Blog Tips is a very well known and respected blogging tips blog with tutorials and guides for the average blogger. One of the many features Daily Blog Tips offers it’s followers and subscribers are Free WordPress Themes. Daily Blog Tips created the wordpress theme called StudioPress which comes in many different StudioPress colors, is adsense ready, is widget ready, and offers comment styling.

Respectively, nothing is perfect and this theme has a one main issue which I wanted to address: Excluding Pages! Now I know what you’re thinking I’ll just use a plugin to hide pages in wordpress. Well unfortunately none currently work with WP 2.8.1 and the Studio Press Theme. I have tried ‘Hide Pages’, ‘PageMash’, ‘Page Link Manager’, ‘Page tools’, and a few others…you name it I tried it. Well through a decent amount of time spent fiddling with code I(Zero from ZeroGamingAlliance) think I found a solution.
With the help of the comments on the main StudioPress Theme thread I was able to come up with my own solution to the problem. The issue + fix is posted below, and working on 3 seperate blogs currently, running on WP 2.8.1.

WP 2.8.1 – I think I found a solution to the “excluding pages” from the top navigation problem.

1- Go to header.php

2- Find the following:

$output .= ‘ID).’” title=”‘.$thats_all->post_title.’”>’.$thats_all->post_title.’‘;

3- Infront of $output . add this(Change XXX to page number):

if ($the_page_id != 'XXX')

4- Should look like:
if ($the_page_id != ‘XXX’) $output .= ‘ID).’” title=”‘.$thats_all->post_title.’”>’.$thats_all->post_title.’‘;

5- Optional To exclude multiple pages just duplicate the if ($the_page_id != 'XXX') code, like so:

if ($the_page_id != 'XXX') if ($the_page_id != 'XXX') if ($the_page_id != 'XXX') $output .=

----

IMPORTANT My $output .= code was slightly different than the one above mine looked like $output .= ' < li' . $addclass . > so the main thing is to look for $output .= and add the other code in front of it.

Good Luck!

May not be the most scientific approaches but it works. - Thanks for Reading, feel free to browse our Free Flash Games section.
