I was useing the private page status to hide child pages from displaying on the site where wp_list_pages was being used.
All I needed to do was find the depth=1& command to add to it so the child pages don’t display.

Trial by fire ??

<?php wp_list_pages(‘depth=1&title_li=<h2>’ . __(‘Pages’) . ‘</h2>’); ?>

OK I am officially an IDIOT, so whats everyone else’s excuse for not telling me I was an IDIOT!!!!

Private pages are only disable when you are logged in, I’m guessing on a per user basis?… since I wasn’t logged in in Explorer or on the mac I get a 404 error!

This complicates the way I wanted to setup that site but I will figure something out.

Thanks me for figuring it out on my own!

Update:

It seems that it is the page status as private that breaks it in IE. Also of note the pages don’t display on a mac in FF or Safari.

finally found another post with exact problem and as luck would have it the exact same solution worked!

I should mention that currently I have the blog URL set to the /content folder so when you visit the domain it loads the blog in the root but when you follow a link it quietly moves you into the /content folder.

I suppose it would be ok to leave it like this but this is clearly not functioning like it is supposed to so I have concerns that there are other symptoms that are not immediately obvious.

FIXED IT MYSELF!
Closer inspection revealed a difference in my php.ini files from the sites that were working and the site that was not!

old php.ini

register_globals = on
include_path = ".:/usr/local/php/share/pear"
zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15
zend_extension="/usr/local/lib/ZendOptimizer.so_4.4.x"

new php.ini (file uploads working)(notice save mode off and memory limits)

register_globals = on
include_path = ".:/usr/local/php/share/pear"
safe_mode = off
memory_limit = 16m
zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15
zend_extension="/usr/local/lib/ZendOptimizer.so_4.4.x"

No need to thank me just send me a dollar if you find it usefull!

Guess that means someone will have to change the documentation to say “There are no problems with safe mode… er…um… except for one ??
