Page ordering ignored, need help…

  • Heya,

    I’m trying to list each page, and it’s content on this website’s front page using the following code:

    $pages = get_pages( array( 'exclude' => '316', 'hierarchical' => 0 ) );
foreach ($pages as $page) {
	echo '<h1 id="' . str_replace(' ', '-', strtolower($page->post_title)) . '">' . $page->post_title . '</h1>';
	echo '<div class="content">' . do_shortcode($page->post_content) . '</div>';
}

    However, it’s not respecting the page order for some reason. Can anyone provide some insight? Thank you!

  • What page order? You aren’t specifying a sort_column or a sort_order in that code.

    I misunderstood the use of the hierarchical attribute, I thought this respected the page order. However, after adding in sort_column and sort_order neither seem to produce different results.

    $pages = get_pages( array( 'exclude' => '316', 'sort_column' => 'menu_order', 'sort_order' => 'asc' ) );
				foreach ($pages as $page) {
					echo '<h1 id="' . str_replace(' ', '-', strtolower($page->post_title)) . '">' . $page->post_title . '</h1>';
					echo '<div class="content">' . do_shortcode($page->post_content) . '</div>';
				}

    Thanks for the swift response!

    Try dumping the $pages array so you can see exactly what is being returned.

    Seems to print it in the same order.
