Parent, Children and Navigation

  • Last question for a bit until I get to changing themes ??

    I created 3 static pages (actually forgot how I did that – maybe no comments allowed and selected a different page for the blog?). I ordered them as 0,1,2. I “expected” that the bottom of 0 would have a “NEXT Page”, the bottom of 1 would have both next and previous, etc. But nothing shows up. As amtter of fact, no way to even get to 1 and 2 until I added them to the menu, and they show as the same level as page 0 there.

    What am I missing?

    Thanks.

  • Howdy Bob,

    The “Next” and “Previous” you’re probably thinking about is shown on archive / category listing pages, or like on your home page if it is set to show (n) blog posts. “Next” and “Previous” are not a part of Page navigation — just Posts.

    If you want a parent page to show child pages, one option is to check out something like Xavin’s List Child Pages plugin on www.remarpro.com.

    As for menus, you have to drag the second level menus to the right just a bit (in Appearance > Menus) so they indent. That indent indicates different levels (sub, sub-sub, etc.) of menu.

    Does this make sense?

    Thanks Paul,

    Fixed the menu level by adding a link with no target as the top level to the menu and now all nest as expected. So that is solved.

    I do not want to list child pages, just have next and previous arrows and words at the bottom of each page in a parent/child relationship. But I will check out the plugin you recommend.

    Thanks again.
