  I can’t figure out how to create sub-pages or move already created pages under another page. I’ve read and re-read and re-read the Pages section in the tutorial and it just ain’t happenin’. I’m using the Twenty Eleven theme, which supports multiple pages. Please help! I really want to publish already! email me at (email visible only to moderators and staff)
  Thanks!

  re: Pages order

  There are two approaches.
  1. If you have only pages in your horizontal menu and that’ is all you want in it see here to use numerical order. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/#order

  2. Custom menu Troubleshooting – My pages are in the wrong order
  Check the sub-pages themselves to see if you have established a Parent page and child page “hierarchical structure” in the page attributes module. Remove if required.

  Also remove any “order” numbers you have assigned that may conflict with the order you are creating by dropping and dragging. Or simply change them so they are the same order as you establish in the menu. Establish consistency – problem solved.

  Thanks for the reply. I only wish I could find the answer because either I’m a complete idiot or I just am not figuring out how to work with these pages and menus. I’ve read and re-read and edited and I just can’t figure this out. I’m getting really irritated because I’ve been working on this for 2 days. Thanks anyway.

  Thanks for your info timethief: although I still wasn’t able to figure out how to nest subpages, I was able to figure out a work-around so at least I was able to go Live! I appreciate your help.
  Take care

  I’m not clear on what you are missing. Provided you have removed all hierarchical designation of parent pages and all numbers for order, then all you do is go here > Appearance > Menu and do this
