Make parent page link open child link instead

  • I was wondering if it was possible to make a parent link (>):

    > HOME
    >> INFO
    >> ABOUT ME
    >> CONTACT

    open the first sub page (>> INFO) rather than display the Home page which I have no content for. So I guess it would be more like a category. But I need it to be a page because some parent links have their own writing, some do not.

    Thanks for any help!

    Esmi, that solution worked for the static pages. Thankyou.
    Now my next problem is I need a bit of code that makes the:

    > BLOG
    >> ENTRY1
    >> ENTRY2
    >> ENTRY3

    (> BLOG) link direct to the latest entry. *scratches noodle*

    If BLOG was a page, you could use the same plugin to point it to a single post. Conversely, why not just place ENTRY1 on BLOG?

    1.————
    I want it to link to the latest blog entry (latest post in blog category). I will ofcourse add many blog entries so it needs to always link to the latest one.

    Cheers for help btw.

    Another query closely related to this.
    I have a drop down menu thingy.
    I want links with no children to link to the page, and links with children should just have a hover over to display the children of that parent… So…

    I would like to disable some links, for example.

    > HOME
    > CONTACT
    >> LOCATION
    >> NUMBER

    (> HOME) has no children so it can remain a link to the page Home.
    (> CONTACT) has children so the link to the CONTACT page can be removed so that it acts as a drop down menu hover over thingy.

    Make any sense?

    something like this: Ambrosite Unlink Parent Pages 1.2
    But something that works hehe.

    *SOLUTION TO 2 – plugin – “Page Lists Plus”*

    1. By default design, your designated posts page always shows your most recent post first. If you limit posts_per_page to 1 via a merged custom query, your Blog page will always show your most recent post. I think perhaps you’re over-thinking this and maybe making things harder for yourself than they need to be.

    2. Before you even get into the coding for this, did you realise that versions of IE prior 8 will only recognise the :active pseudo class on links and not any other element? So you’ll have a major headache trying to get this to work using CSS in anything earlier than IE8.
