Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi,

I have a parent with 3 child pages. i excluded parent from nav, but not child pages.

When i set autonav to display top level and display all subpages, these child pages are getting added to nav at parent level.

Is there a way where excluding parent from nav should not show its child pages, with out excluding child pages.

Thanks.
