  How can I designate a parent page for my static blog? I see that a parent page can be designated and that other pages will follow on from it, but I don’t know how to designate which page is the parent page and I don’t know if the other pages that follow on from it in a static blog will appear after the parent page in exactly the same order that I create those subsequent pages. Please explain all this clearly. Thanks.

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

  re: changing the order of Pages, not Posts

  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. If you want to have items other than Pages then see Creating a Custom Menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#creating-a-custom-menu
  Adding Pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-pages
  Changing the Order & Creating Sub-Menus http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus

  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.
