How to make a page to not appear in the menu when created?

Question

When one creates a page in the Dashboard (Pages -> Create new) it always appears in the menu and that is the way it should be.

But now I want to create a page that does not appear in the menu at all. How do I do that?

I'm using a plugin called Nice navigation for animated menus and the theme I'm using is called Fiver

Here is the site I'm working on.

Edit:

This Nice navigation plugin has an arguments box in the Nice Nav widget.

All I did was add "exclude=17757" (not <?php wp_list_pages('exclude=17757' ); ?>) in the box and it now works fine. This post helped me.

Sorry, I could'nt answer my own question.

I'm afraid, I never used Nice Navigation. But have you tried: in wp-admin > appearance > menus; then choosing the menu you want to modify, uncheck "Automatically add new top-level pages" and save? — Mayeenul Islam, Aug 21, 2013 at 8:05
Thanks, I tried this - did'nt work. That box is already unchecked. — DilbertFan, Aug 21, 2013 at 10:23

If Nice navigation uses wp_list_pages to show the pages in the menu, it should work.

Yes, I just found this plugin and others say it works fine! But I'd rather keep plugins to a minimum and also, it seems to me it hasn't been updated for a while. Yes, you are right, Nice navigation uses wp_list_pages.
