Setting page order

  • I am currently trying to build my website and have all the pages I want in the left sidebar. However I cant get them to go in the order I want. I have numbered them in the page number box and they do what I want on the dashboard but once on the website they just stay alphabetical.

    I have done a few searches but have no idea how to use widgets or enter code. I just need a really simple explanation on how to fix it. Any help would be apreciated. Thanks ??

  • Wow, no idea how to use widgets or code. Are you at least willing to try and learn?

    Basically an explanation will be next to impossible then without you have to having to resort to at least one or both of the above options.

    I have downloaded a couple of widgets but none of them did what I wanted. I am a total newbie!

    I dont mind using them I just want to know EXACTLY what to do, most things out there only tell you half of what you need to do and that is very unhelpful.

    All I want is my pages on the left in the order I want. There are only 7 and they have no pages coming off them so I would have thought it was easy. I am using the Suffusion theme. Thanks ??

    ncnh,

    it’s not that they tell you half of what you need to know. that is very unfair to the developers of the plugin, who often create these plugins for free for the benefit of others. generally, some prior knowledge of code/widgets is assumed. the rest they figure you can google.

    the link i passed you only gives and explanation of your sidebar, with background knowledge, taking time to read it, it then links to this page.

    On this page, it contains the following code. This will sort the code based on the menu order you have specified. 

    <ul>
  <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order'); ?>
</ul>

    Please be more grateful when someone points you in the right direction, as the more you learn about wordpress, perhaps you can help out others eventually.
