Orphaned Pages
-
For the first time when i go to the manage my pages area it has changed the order of my pages and has a whole heap listed under the heading of Orphaned Pages, can anyone tell me whats going on?
-
-
nope haven’t touched them until after i saw it and needed to make an update to one of them.
as you can see i have a lot of pages…
-
haven’t seen this before. i tried searching the forums but nothing’s come up (or perhaps i’m using the wrong keywords). hopefully another volunteer can assist on this.
does this affect your blog in any way?
-
don’t think so its all running fine, its was just odd and kinda puts it out of wack from an organisational point of view
-
i have the same problem, what about these orphaned pages, don´t even know what that means.
By the way: I have still problems in organizing the order of my pages
-
Were these pages linked to any other pages in some way? Maybe you deleted the original page and hence it got orphaned.
-
?? anyway it happened while trying to arrange the order of my pages, which still ist the main problem for me.

Orphan Pages (OP) are pages inside your site and which have no backlinks from other pages or other sites. Orphan pages could be happen if there are any pages located deep inside your site. Some of your old blog posts usually have orphan pages if you are only using standard page navigation inside your WordPress, since those pages need more link-jumps. Orphan Pages can be the main factors of Supplemental Result inside your WordPress sites.

Hi timethief, I suddenly have some “orphane pages” (10 out of 120 pages too, some are parented by others, some not). But I do not understand your advice at all, and neither the link you mention … is there anything I have to do concerning these pages? (Yes, I’m one of those HTM-Dummies, sorry … sigh … but your advice used to be helpful at other times!)

As it has been 24 hours and staff have not yet had the time to post an answer to to the OP as to how wordpress.com bloggers can deal with orphaned pages I’m bumping this thread.

The order has changed because it was haphazard before. It is now sorted by menu order then name (children). There has also been some performance improvements.
Work in this area uncovered a cache related issue where previous deletes could mean the pages were orphaned. Hailin is still shaking out the bugs, but it seems to be basically working much better now. If update the previously orphaned page’s parent then all of its children will be happy to — did I just really write that about computer software?!

update the previously orphaned page’s parent then all of its children will be happy too …
Thanks :D)))

Problem is NOT FIXED at all! On the weekend I suddenly had 10 “orphaned pages”. After you “shaked out the butts” yesterday, suddenly 30 or 40 pages of my site left their PARENT pages! They were suddenly connected to the MAINpage – I got 40 times the “404 error” trying to call these pages!!! (The link is changed = the parent page bit in it is deleted.) I spent an hour this morning updating them again to their original links – but now 10 are again BACK to the mainpage! These seem to be the original 10 “orphane pages”. Grrrrrrrrrr … Theo

Just to add to this mix – I suddenly have “orphaned pages” as well – and the pages seem to be no different (e.g., backlinks and other material) from the “regular” pages. Too, I have a tab – and a whole section of pages and sub-pages – that has suddenly disappeared from the main page. (In other words, the “page parent” is supposed to be the main page, but it’s disappeared from there!)
The pages still exist in the “Manage Pages” section of my dashboard, but they are now invisible to the reader. I’m using the “MistyLook” by Sadish template. Is anyone else experiencing this?
-
I just tried to find pages that NOW seem to be linked to the main page (instead of to a certain parent pages), and Google found 3 of 4, very strange …
-
… there are just LISTED in a wrong place on the pages list of the main page (makes them very hard to find). Theo
