you can use pre_get_posts filter hook and set the post__not_in parameter of the query ex: function exclude_from_search_filter($query) { if ( !$query->is_admin && $query->is_search) { $query->set(‘post__not_in’, array(40, 9) ); // id of page or post } return $query; } add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘exclude_from_search_filter’ );
I would try replacing your $children definition, using get_page_children() or get_children(): <?php global $post; $children = get_children( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘page’, ‘post_parent’ => $post->ID, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’ ) ); if ( $children ) { // Code to list child pages goes here } ?> Also, wp_list_pages() will always return a string (either populated or empty), … Read more
In WordPress 3.4, themes can now place page templates inside a subdirectory of their theme. via an API called WP_theme. Read more here: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/20103
Probably the easiest thing to do would be to create a custom menu. That would give you control over the order that the pages appear in.
This should work by putting the good IDs.

$query = new WP_Query( ‘post_type=page’ ); as seen at codex http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Type_.26_Status_Parameters
You can indeed query on post metadata, see Custom Field Parametersfor WP_Query in Codex. I would recommend against using a custom table. EDIT – Here’s an example query for all resorts with meta key vertical_feet between 2000 and 3000: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘resort’, ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘vertical_feet’, … Read more

You should be using wp_enqueue_script rather than putting script tags directly in template files: function wpa61143_enqueue_scripts() { if( is_page( ‘home’ ) ) : wp_enqueue_script( ‘jcarousel’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/scripts/jquery.jcarousel.min.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ), null, true, ); elseif( is_single() ) : // enqueue scripts for single elseif( ! is_page_template(‘modelPages.php’) ) : // enqueue scripts for other endif; } … Read more
From my view, I avoid using the wp editor at all. It doesn’t offer all the good things a IDE can provide. If you have a local server running, you probably can access it. For example, in linux its usally on /var/www/localhost/htdocs/ but it varies a lot from distro to distro. You can also use … Read more
