I can’t edit my pages in 1.5

You have to create the pages from the Manage – Pages admin area. It saves them in your database like blog entries, but it places a link in the “Pages” heading in the sidebar with the name of each Page you create. If you have static pages already created, simply copy and paste the pages in to the Pages editor; you may have to take out any PHP or HTML editing tags. Then save the Page and voila! A static page that will appear in it’s own single page accessible via a link in the sidebar under Pages (or whatever you rename the header to).

In the manage area it says that i have not created any pages yet when I have. what should I do?

I think it is that my wp-admin/edit-pages.php only shows the option of “No pages yet”

You need to go into “write” – there should be two options – “Write Post” (which you should be familiar with) and “Write Page”, which is where you can create a new page.

The Manage section won’t show anything until you’ve saved at least one page from the “Write” section.

I keep writing “pages” and not “posts” the “write page” saves something because I can choose pages from the page parent drop box, but the manage pages always shows no pages yet.

There should be a link at the bottom of the “Manage” “Pages” area called “Create New Page”. Just click on that and you will be sent to the “Write” area (with your simple or advanced interface option) to write your Page. When you are finished, click the “Save” button; there will be no “Publish” button when editing Pages.

I know, that’s what I’ve been doing, but when i manage pages, nothing appears are there any files that I need to load in my server? where the pages get saved? when I save my pages they get posted in a folder I named ?static= which i got from wanting to install EzStatic. The pages get saved there like posts though with the date and time and everything. Is there a file that I can hack into that will save my posts to be managed?

The data gets saved in your MySQL database. There are no files to be saved. As far as importing the information from EzStatic, I’m not sure if there is a way to do this. I did not use EzStatic with 1.2. You may have to open the pages and then copy the content and paste it into new “Pages” entries in order to import. That’s what I had to do with my hand-coded static pages.

bump.. i’m having the same problem. i created a page with a test username and cannot see any pages listed in the manage pages section. other users are having this problem as well. all users who are supposed to be able to edit things are on level 9. when logged in as superadmin (level 10) i can see and edit all pages.

there are no problems with posts. any ideas?

I’m having the same problem. My Pages are not listed under Manage Pages — it just says “No pages yet.”

Workaround: view the page, click the Edit this Entry link down at the bottom: from there you can edit or delete the page.

Is this going to be fixed in an upcoming release?

I see this in edit-pages.php:

if (isset($user_ID) && (” != intval($user_ID))) {
$posts = $wpdb->get_results(“
SELECT $wpdb->posts.*, $wpdb->users.user_level FROM $wpdb->posts
INNER JOIN $wpdb->users ON ($wpdb->posts.post_author = $wpdb->users.ID)
WHERE $wpdb->posts.post_status = ‘static’
AND ($wpdb->users.user_level < $user_level OR $wpdb->posts.post_author = $user_ID)
“);
} else {

$posts = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = ‘static'”);
}

Commenting out the first part and just setting $posts to the result of the simple query generates the expected results.

What I see that’s problematic is not in the query, but in the fact that WordPress sets the ??wner of the page to “site admin”. This appears to be a bug in edit-page-form.php, which isn’t correctly selecting the current signed-in user as the owner of the page when populating the “Owner” dropdown box. The result is that the page is created by user X but is set as owned by userid=1 (admin typically).

Do either of you have multiple users setup? If you do, pages can only be edited (through “manage pages”) by the user who created the page.

Even if you have 2 users with permission level 10 (which I do), only the original user can edit through wp-admin. You can still go through the “edit” link from the actual page, though.
