Inspired by the idea<\/a> presented at Digitus, Finger & Co. I installed MooKitty’s Show Categories plugin<\/a> and modified it with the code in a comment by Paul<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Static pages” are posts but hidden from the index page, archives, and category listing. They can be found by search, however. I “staticised” my booklog and the page about me already but I still have some more work to do. I decided to keep commenting on for the static pages. I removed “lots” of things, though. It’s easy: Just add<\/p>\n

\n<?php if ($cat != x<\/strong>) { ?> HIDDEN STUFF HERE<\/strong> <?php } ?>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

around the bits you want to hide (x<\/strong> being the ID number of the category you are hiding). That bit of code means “if the category number does NOT equal x, show the bit between { and }”.
\nI hid the date, time posted, and word count.<\/p>\n

The breadcrumb code is located outside the WP loop so at first I didn’t know how to get the category info for if-clauses (for hiding the breadcrumb from static pages). I found a function in_category(x) where x is the number of the category. It returns true or false. So, I put a<\/p>\n

\n<?php if ( !in_category(x<\/strong>) ) { ?> HIDDEN STUFF HERE<\/strong> <?php } ?>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

around the breadcrumb code and now it’s gone from the static pages just as I like it.<\/p>\n

Making static (or more like non-entry) pages this way makes it easier for them to keep up with the modifications I make to the index page. I used to have the static pages as php pages where I had copied the “header” and “footer” of each page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
