== Installation ==
1. Upload the `im8-exclude-pages` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins` directory on your web server.
2. Activate the plugin through the _Plugins_ menu in WordPress.
3. Find the new _Exclude Page_ meta box on the regular _Edit Page_ page
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Is there a way to (temporarily) disable the plugin filter? =
Yes, there is. Suppose you want to exclude a page from your menu but show it in your sitemap (both generated with `wp_list_pages`). To do so, just use the `disable_im8_exclude_pages()` function right before building your sitemap. If you would like to re-enable the filter (e.g., if you have a footer menu, where you want to excvlude the page again), you may do so by calling the `enable_im8_exclude_pages()` function.
== Screenshots ==
1. **Meta box on the page editor** - Here you can toggle the exclusion status for each page.
2. **Example of a child page with excluded ancestor** - You get notified that the child page will be automatically excluded too.
3. **Setting for new pages** - Automatically exclude new pages by default.
