[Plugin: List Pages Shortcode] Remove home from children list

You can exclude page IDs using:
[child-pages exclude=”675″]

The ID is a number value associated with a page or post.

When editing a page you will see it in the address bar, for example the the following URL show the page ID is 675:
http://example.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=675&action=edit

Or, you can install a plugin like Simply Show IDs which will show you the IDs in a column when showing you all the pages in the admin.
http://example.com/extend/plugins/simply-show-ids/

Yes, if you are using your site with the home page showing all posts it doesn’t exist as a page. In which case, the home page should not be included in the output.

If you have set a home page in your Settings > Reading options in the admin, then the home page will be the page you selected there.

Can you confirm if in your Settings > Reading options you have it set to “Your latest posts” or “Use a static page”?

So is there a Home link appear in the top of your list like the original question at the top of this thread?

Just trying to help 😉

In my testing no home link is added.
It could possibly be your theme or a plugin that is adding it automatically?

If you flip to the default WordPress theme do you still have the issue?

If the Home link still gets added with the default theme, try disabling all other plugins and see if that fixes it. If if does, reactivate each plugin one by one to determine which one is causing the issue, then let me know so I can look into it.

Which theme is it? – it might be possible to fix with a workaround.

It’s a paid-for theme.

Would you be willing to provide with with the theme files or access to your admin to investigate further?

Contact me via my website and I’ll let you know my email address to send the files to.

So there seems to be an InkThemes theme to these issues…

I download a trial version of the blackbird theme. The offending code that is causing the issue is the following which automatically runs a function to add the home page to every wp_list_pages() call:

add_filter('wp_list_pages', 'inkthemes_nav_menu_items');

You can remove this by adding the following to your theme’s functions.php file, below all the includes at the top, but this will remove home from every use of wp_list_pages() on your site.

remove_filter('wp_list_pages', 'inkthemes_nav_menu_items');

I’ll add in some filters to the List Pages Shortcode plugin so that it will be possible to remove it just for the shortcode output.
