(Plugin and this post last updated: 10/20/2009 – Latest Plugin Version: 1.1.1 – see changelog at bottom of post)
I have been wanting to do more wordpress plugin development, but it has a somewhat steep learning curve. So I'm testing the waters a bit here. I've done some testing with the plugin, but feedback is appreciated. For now, if you have problems with the plugin, leave a comment here. PLEASE include contact information (fill out the email field with a valid email address!!), a URL where you have the plugin installed, any errors you're getting, etc. The more information you give me, the more likely I will able to fix the problem.
Plugin Description
This plugin will allow you to specify certain pages to not be linked when wp_list_pages() is used in your theme. You might want to do this if you want a header for a series of subpages, but don't specifically want that header to be a real "page" or link.
For example – you have a series of pages like this:
As of version 1.1 of this plugin there are two ways you can go about doing this. You can either remove the link entirely. As in no <a> tag at all like this:
- About Our Company
- Our Products
- etc etc etc
OR you can remove the link to the actual page and sawp it out for a blank link to "#".
Usage
To use the plugin, download the zip, and unzip the file. Install it by putting the scripty-delinkpage.php in your wp-content/plugins/ directory. Activate it through the WordPress admin. Then, on pages you do not want to have a link, add a custom field with a key of "delink" and a value of "true" when you want to remove the link completely, or a value of "href" when you want the href value to be "#".
Download
You can download this plugin from wordpress.org plugin directory here: Delink Pages
