Child page trouble
-
Frustration abounds. Here is my new class blog… http://thepurpleenglishteacher.wordpress.com. Here is my question. After some research, I am right in thinking that I have to link my child pages to the text area of the parent page? If I have to do this to make my child pages show up, then what is the point of them being child pages in the first place? They could randomly be anywhere and linked, right? There must be a better way, or why would WordPress offer a child page hierarchy to begin with? Thank you for your help. ~Kelly

thewriteteach,
You can use a page widget to display links to parent and child pages in your sidebar. Page hierarchy will be apparent.
It is possible to exclude some child pages so they don’t show in the sidebar; and if you do that, then you will need to provide links to them—otherwise no one would be able to navigate to the invisible (excluded) pages. -
“What is the point of them being child pages in the first place?”
One, for header tab organization: the header displays parent pages only. Two, for sidebar organization: if you add the pages widget, child pages will be differentiated (usually indented).
As for the parent page itself, in some themes you do get links to child pages automatically; in other themes you have to do it yourself.

Do you know that the link to your blog when a reader clicks on your name is wrong?

Panos,
clarify?
“As for the parent page itself, in some themes you do get links to child pages automatically; in other themes you have to do it yourself.”
In a pages widget? a drop down menu from the parent page? sorry, I tired and don’t understand… -

Maybe you’ll be surprised, but I don’t have that list (will probably work it out)… I remember Redoable Lite is one of them.
