  I have updated all my page orders from 1-12 on my page attributes.

  When I pull up my pages in my Dashboard, they are in the order I want them. When I got to my actual page, they are not in the order that I have inputted.

  Anyone know why this is not translating to my page.

  I started on 1 and went to 12. Do I need to start at 0 first?

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

  There are two approaches you can use.
  Page Order – Page attributes module order numerically rather than alphabetically

  If you have a custom menu then you must establish consistency. Check the Pages 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

  However, I note the free hosted WordPress.com blog linked to your username is empty and I believe you need to read this WordPress.com vs WordPress.org as you may be posting to the wrong support forum. The support forum for those with WordPress.org installs is at http://wordpress.org/support/

  Tried to go to wordpress.org/support/ and it won’t let me login with my normal username and password.

  My blog is http://www.mortgagenewsandrates.com.

  Hello again,
  We do not provide support for any WordPress.org installs here. You need to register a username account and a password over at http://wordpress.org/support/ See the top right hand corner of that page. :)

  @reggiegreen: Setting page order numbers will affect the order of the top nav menu tabs. But the theme you’re using doesn’t have a top nav menu, so you’re talking about the order in your sidebar Pages widget. You need to go to Appearance>Widgets, open the Pages widget, select “sort by page order”, click Save.
