  I am trying to change the page order, but cannot. I’ve updated the page attribute order as outlined here:

  and

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-options/

  I see that the pages have the numbers I want them to have, but the actual site does not reflect the change. I cleared cookies and cache, just in case. Nothing.

  Does anyone know what might be happening?

  Thanks!

  Hi Derek,

  Are you using a custom menu or the Pages Widget by chance? If so, there are a couple of things to check that may be preventing the Order field from having the intended effect.

  Here is some information that might be useful:

  • If you are using a custom menu, you can change the order of your Pages in the menu by using the Reorder link in the Customizer. See more info here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#3-organize-your-menu-and-add-sub-menus-drop-down-menus
  • If you’re using the Pages Widget, be sure to set the Sort by option to Page Order after setting a custom order for your pages. Then click Publish. See more info here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-options/#order

  Hope that helps!

  Thanks for the response! I’m actually not using any of those things. Is there anything else that could be causing this?

  Hmm, can you provide some more information on how you’ve set-up the site? What theme are you using, how have you gone about setting it up, what (if anything) have you customized along the way?

  Also, are able to share a link to the site you are working on?

  Problem solved! I’m using the Nisarg theme, which has a customization that controls page order.

  I’m this case it’s Appearance > Customize > Menu > Main

  Thanks!
