Subpages still there but not coming up

  • Unknown's avatar

    The good news is that I just checked my dashboard ( manage >> pages ) and all my subpages are still there (I have quite a few). The not-so-good news is that the subpages on this page are no longer appearing:

    Everything seems hunky-dory and I’m stumped on this as they used to appear just fine.

    Maybe I tried another theme a while back and this threw something off?

    Anyhow, I’m back to the theme that previously worked, and the subpages are still there–just not showing.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    I’m not sure what’s causing it to be honest; I know the pages are there because they’re listed under the original page (something unique to MistyLook) but clicking them does nothing. Very weird.

    Have you checked in Manage > Pages that they’re all published, not set to draft? Perhaps you could try editing one and saving it as a draft, then try republishing it. Or you could even try copying the content and then deleting the page entirely, then publish a new page. I don’t know if that would help but it’s something to try.

    If that doesn’t work I’m not sure what’s happened. I doubt changing themes would have caused it but you might need to contact staff once support opens to see if they can help.

    Thanks for the good suggestions. I just checked and they are “published.” Funnily enuf, one subpage does work (from a different page):

    Maybe wordpress no longer accepts numbers for subpage slugs?

    If it doesn’t iron itself out I’ll probably try with letters for subpage slugs…

    Oh, yes, numbers make problems in page-slugs, we had a couple of threads about it, which at the moment I cannot found.

    Thanks… I just changed them all to letters and it works great!
