title: How can I hide pages from menus in WordPress?
body: <p>I only want to show the pages that do not have parents, and link the other pages from their parent pages.</p>
  
  <p>I want to have a simple main menu: Home | Pages | About | Contact</p>
  
  <p>About 8 pages are linked from the Pages page. At the moment, the menu has 12 items, which deforms the layout pretty badly.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried making the pages private, unpublished, and other options, but that doesn't seem to be the way to do it. Is there a way I can just have only parent pages linked in the main menu?</p>
