Getting a blogroll under pages in wordpress

4 replies
Hey,

Does anyone know how to set up a page heirarchy in wordpress or get a second set of blog posts going underneath a page in wordpress?

I'm concerned as to how to organize this once I have written the content.

    When you create a page in WP, you'll find a pull down menu under "attributes" that allows you to assign it to a Parent page. The parent page is what will show up in your nav bar, and the children pages will appear under that parent page on mouseover, or click, or however you set it up. So, if you want a main nav bar heading of, let's say, "Marketing Articles", make that the parent page. Then create new "child' pages with "Marketing Articles" as the parent and they'll appear under it.

    In terms of blog posts -- Based on your theme, you should have some page templates that you can use that are coded to allow for blog *posts* (as opposed to pages) to appear organized by category. If you want a "child" page that includes a bunch of posts, use one of those templates and set the appropriate parent page under 'attributes".

    On BlogRoll, my observation is BlogRoll list it in ascending order. Try adding 01 02 or * characters like the following: list

    01 My Favorite Number 1 List
    02 ABCs in Blog Posting
    03 More Listed Link

    or
    * My Favorite Number 1 List
    ** ABCs in Blog Posting
    *** More Listed Link

    To Our Success!

    You can always tweak WordPress to display your links or pages in an order you prefer, generally be modifying the template tag that's used.

    For instance, if you want to display your blogroll links by ID rather than name (the default), then use wp_list_bookmarks('orderby=id'), thus you won't need to put a number in front of the link's name.

    If you wish to have your page links displayed a certain way, then you'll either need to install a plugin (Page Link Manager jumps to mind) or tweak the wp_list_pages() template tag to suit your particular needs.
