You may want to hide some of your pages from appearing in the top navigation area of your theme or in the Pages Widget in the sidebar.

Hide from the Navigation Menu

The most common reason for hiding a page from the navigation menu us when you’ve setup a static front page. Many themes are hard coded to display a “Home” link even when no other pages exist. So if you had create a page title “Home” and you would now have two links to “Home” appearing in the navigation menu. Both links would also be going to the same location. Obviously you don’t want this.

You can hide the second link by editing the page and setting another page as the Parent in the Attributes module.

page-parent

This will work for any other top level pages, as well. It doesn’t have to be a page titled “Home” or a page set as a static front page to hide it.
