This plugin was developed to enable a Page to be displayed in a certain navigation object. Most websites have only a handful of navigation objects such as a Super Navigation (at the very top of the page, above the header), a Head Navigation (the primary navigation of the Header), a Side Navigation (displayed in the sidebar), and a Footer Navigation (in the footer). Of course there are more or less depending on the website but these are pretty standard.

The plugin is very simple. Add a template tag to replace wp_list_pages() function with wp_list_navtype_pages(). Then on the Page=>Edit screen of the wordpress admin backend, check which Navigation object you wish the page to be displayed in.

You can effectively hide the page by not displaying it anywhere.

The plugin is available in the WordPress Plugin Repository
