“Ambiru” theme and Parent Page ? not working ?
-
Hi all,
I need help to understand the Parent page administration.
I use “Ambiru” theme. Can I use the Parent Page tool ? I made some test on my administration area but nothing is displayed on my blog. I test one parent page with 3 child pages. But it does not work. No submenu, no page… :-(
Need your comments and help. Thanks id avance.
Regards.

Child pages never automatically link to anything – you need to edit the parent page and link to it directly.
Is that what you mean? -
Hi. Thanks a lot for your reply.
But I don’t know how to link 2 pages. A parent page + a child page (the idea of a sub menu).
When I create a page with a ‘child status’, nothing happens on the parent page, the name of the cvhild page is not displayed.. How can I do ?
Regards.

I have to make a manual link on the parent page ? in my wysiwyg interface ? Is it not an automatic process ?

You can use a page widget in your sidebar, or make links to the child pages on the parent page. The links would be just like any ordinary link to another blog or site, only it would be a link to a (child) page on your own site.

It is automatic in these themes only:
Fauna
Misty Look
Redoable Lite
Regulus -
Sorry, but I forgot that you can’t add a pages widget to Ambiru, so that’s not an option for you.

Hello,
Thanks for your help and comments.
Then, if I understand (with my theme) It’s not interesting to create this kind of link ? it s just a normal and manual link as we can find on any website ? Am I right ?
-
Then in my case If I want to create child pages I have to :
open my parent page and include these elements :
Name of parent page > name(+link) of my child page (as a classical submenu)
And do the same on the child page with a link to go to the parent page.
Not very interesting… everything is manual… Is that what you mean ?
-
You won’t need a link back to the parent page because it will be in a tab on the header.

@magagere: If you want child pages, you need to write normal links to them in the parent page itself. That’s because Ambiru is one of the very few themes in which you cannot add widgets. In most themes you would add the Pages widget, and your child pages would then show up in your sidebar or bottombar (usually indented under their parent).
Another possibility in Ambiru is write your child pages in Links > Add New, as one link category.

But that gives me another idea. Using “next page” might work for you.

Thanks for all your ideas ! :-) The ‘next page’ is an interesting idea.
In fact, I want to create three (or four, later..) pages in my ‘Galerie’ page. Each page will presents differents categories of creations (with a gallery presentation of course).
Regards.
