How to Fix the Exclude Tree Pages Bug in WordPress 2.7
Sometimes a new WordPress release messes up things that they fixed in a previous version. Here we go again with the irritating exclude pages bug in WordPress! The fix is something similar to post I blogged about in August…
My fix was inspired by this post from Texto.de. I also posted my exclude_tree fix on the WordPress forum.
Open up wp-includes/post-template.php in your favourite editor. Look for the line 616:
616 | $r['hierarchical'] = 0; |
Add 2 back slashes to the code to “comment hide” it.
616 | //$r['hierarchical'] = 0; |
That’s all there is to it! Stop using the exclude_tree parameter for the wp_list_pages function until a fix has been announced.

This is a disable more than a fix, correct?

It is a fix. The default 2.7 code does not allow exclude pages.

Must agree with J. If it was a fix, it would make it work. All you’ve done is disable something.

Do you have a better solution? I have no idea why WordPress messes up this exclude page feature.

I went a different route with this and used a plugin called BigBigMenu (http://www.bigbigtech.com/wordpress-plugins/big-big-menu/) that a friend of mine wrote. It did the trick with only a small adjustment to include children categories + pages.

Why doesn’t it work with mine? It excludes only up to 3 pages. I need to exclude up to 8 pages.
