Publishing Page

When you publish a page and set the Visibility to "Private" - is this page still read by search engines?

I just created a test page and set it as Private. When I checked the source code on the page, it was: `` so it appears the Private setting prevents the search engines from crawling (although the meta info is just a suggestion, there is no guarantee some bot won't crawl or scrape the page - generally Google, Yahoo and the other big boys are reputable and will follow the instructions).

No private pages won't be picked up by Search as the bots can't get to it.

OK is there a way to add additional pages, but not have them show up in the Nav bar, but appear in the footer section as they normally do? Thanks.

Find out your page ID, then add it to the _nav.php file where it says this: `wp_list_pages('exclude='.$frontpage_id.$forum_exclude.'&depth=3&title_li=')` Also see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages#Exclude_Pages_from_List

where to you get the page ID? I changed the extension of the page with permalinks.

Admin > Pages > Edit - roll over the page title and read the link in the browser status bar. The number at the end of the link is the Page ID.

I do not see a _nav.php file. Which file is this code in? Thanks.

This is for the WHP3 theme.

Looks like I found it in the header.php file

I shall mark as resolved then.
