Wordpress pages question

by rosetrees
5 replies
I've just started a new WP (self-hosted) blog. I have a mixture of posts and pages.

My question is - I can have a page called, say, Mypage. This appears in the menu at the top of the screen. I can then add another page, which has Mypage as the parent.

How do I find this child page when I view the blog? It doesn't appear in a drop down menu, nor is it listed anywhere when I go to Mypage. It seems to be invisible!

I know I'm missing something, but for the life of me I can't see what!!

    Depending on the theme you re using, the "child page" should appear under the Parent page in your sidebar if you have a page section. It should also be a sub menu drop down when you hover over your parent page link in the navigation bar.

    You can also open it directly from your dashboard and see what the location is at the bottom of the post/page...

    Hope that helps,

    Eric

    This may depend upon your theme ... I hardcoded mine in ...

    PHP Code:
    echo "<li" .  . "><a href='http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/wp-login.php?action=register' title='Register'><span>Register</span></a></li>";

    Here is how i did it
    when you create the page set it as a child of some other page (as you did)
    if your theme supports widgets the do this:
    get the folding pages plugin from here:
    Navy Road Folding Pages Widget

    and install it in your side bar, thats it.
    You can see how it looks on my blog (link in sig), i did a test page that you will see in the right colum under the site navigation heading the page welcome has the child page.

    Hope it helps you
