  I would guess that it’s theme related. Themes that use top bar tabs to display pages could have a serious problem with displaying subpages as well.

  Not necessarily theme related. This is something one can change fairly easily within the standard WP blog and themes. It has been discussed before on these forums many times as well. (“Oh, I don’t like how all of my links are in such and such order. How do I change it?”)

  If one can change it fairly easily, could you please tell me how or point me to where directions are given? I host my blog on my own domain so I am allowed to edit themes. (I’ve looked through the forums and I don’t see directions on how to do this. I see directions on how to change the order of pages, but that’s not my issue.)

  Again, what I specifically want to do is to have subpages that do not automatically show up in my sidebar b/c I don’t want that much material showing up there. All I want in the sidebar are the parent pages.

  I finally figured out through a circuitous route how to only have parent and NOT child pages show up in my side bar. The coding that was there said:

  <?php wp_list_pages( ); ?>

  I changed it to read:

  <?php wp_list_pages(‘exclude=4&depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&title’); ?>

  Voila — the child pages “disappeared” from the sidebar.

  raineysisters: For support on self-hosted WordPress blogs, you should jump over to the wordpress.org support forums. These forums are for the free wordpress.com accounts. I’m not kicking you out out or anything, but people on the free accounts aren’t allowed into the themes or underlying coding and therefore don’t have occasion to deal with those problems–at least not in relation to their blogs.

  Amm i think thats a good idea but i think it did not reach the true intention of this topic.
  The guy wanted to buttons of seperate topics where post of certain critaria can be posted like so

  gadgets->post related to machines,gadgets,pc,consols etc.
  Reviews->posts related to all reviews.

  The idea is to just have buttons not the category listed on a page.
  I hope i understood your method and you understand what I want. :)
