    I am in the middle of giving a site a makeover (https://www.bingoformen.com) and installed a new template that I really like but unfortunately the pages will go into the order I want them. I have given all of the pages numbers but its still not working.

    Does anyone know how I can edit this to get it working?

    Thanks in advance

  • Hi

    In your header.php file, locate
    wp_list_pages(' ...stuff here ... ')

    if within ...stuff here... you see sortcolumn=..something.. change
    ..something.. to menu_order
    so it looks like sort_column=menu_order
    if you don’t see sortcolumn=..something..
    just before the closing apostrophe (or could be a double quote )
    add this &sort_column=menu_order
    so it now looks like
    wp_list_pages(' ...stuff here ...&sort_column=menu_order')
    Save, and refresh your website. THAT should cause them to sort in the order you want.

    stvwlf has given you the solution above, i can see the area mentioned right there in the code…

    Follow the instructions first, then report back if you have a problem, the above code is not as per stvwlf’s example.

    But now I have a little ‘pages[ next to home and all of the other pages only appear as I mouse over that and the bingo reviews list is all out of alignment.

    That’s because you removed the title_li= part from the function…

    As was indicated before, you are not to remove anything, simply replace the sort_column part…

    Re-read the instructions… if you still don’t get it this time i’ll post it for you, but this really should be obvious..
