how create (proper) page hierarchies

  • Unknown's avatar

    When I posted a new page and told the menu system that its parent was another page, the system didn’t seem to do what I wanted.
    I am used to the command-line interface (unix, MS-DOS) where I create files under directory trees (directories inside directories).
    Directories are the same as what GUI (graphical-user-interface systems) call folders.
    In the past I have also created such nested structures directly by editing the .html file with a text editor (e.g., vi).
    I’m sure everybody knows about menu trees (menus under menus, etc.).
    So how do I get the equivalent under my blog?
    I want to have relatively few pages under my main page–and have subpages (as your system calls them) under those pages–which
    only become visible with a user goes to the parent page of those subpages–not visible from the main page.
    Otherwise, the blog will just become too confusing because there are too many pages for the reader to sort through.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    These search results reveal what is possible on wordpress.COM blogs when it comes to creating static pages, intended for content that rarely if ever changes, and a hierarchy of subpages, and then displaying or excluding their display via the pages widget.

    I’m not clear on whether or not you are aware of the differences between static Pages and posts. One of the links the search produced above sets these out for you. Suffice to say that Pages and subpages get very little Google juice.
