To disable the automatic addition of pages to the WordPress menu, follow these steps:
1. Go to Appearance > Menus in your WordPress dashboard.
2. Look for the option named “Auto add pages” and turn it off.
3. If you are using a custom theme, check the Appearance > Customize > Menus. There, disable “Automatically add new top-level pages to this menu” option.
4. If the option is not visible, it may be a theme feature that requires code to disable.
5. For more advanced control, consider using a plugin like Exclude Pages From Menu to exclude specific pages from the menu.
By following these steps, you can manage which pages are included in your WordPress menu, ensuring that only the pages you want are displayed to visitors.
