Child pages wont nest under parent pages on menu

  • Hi
    I cant get child pages to nest under parent pages menu of Twenty Seventeen.
    Ive gone into the child pages and under Page Attributes Ive told it which the parents page is, but the menu will not show the child pages.
    Screen shot here
    https://prnt.sc/hz4mn3
    The menu for IMAGES on the advised website is what Im trying to get to have children drop down from it. (Child pages would be Images 2017 & Images 2018)

    Any help please?

    I’ve worked out how to do this myself

    you have to go into Menu structure then drag the child/sub page you want to the right to make it sit below the parent page above.
    This really is not very clear at all.
    It used to work from the Page you set the Page attribute to tell it what the Parent page is then the order for it to go in. This is option is still there but it just doesnt work.

    Thanks for this – I found it useful. I have wordpress 2017 theme and have encountered exactly this issue. In the page, I can set the attribute dropdown on the right to have a parent page. This then adds the new page to the url of the parent eg aboutus/costs, and puts a dash to the left of the title of the new page (- costs). The new page (- costs) sit below ‘About Us’ when you click on ‘Pages’ to the left of the dashboard:
    About Us
    – costs

    However, the new page does not move to under ‘About Us’ on the front end of the site. In order to do this, I still have to go to Menus and drag the new page across to sit under ‘About Us’ in the usual way.

    I understand that this limitation is a feature of how my theme works. However, from an SEO or organisational perspective, is there any advantage in using the parent/child attribute for the fact that the url it creates contains both ‘about us’ and ‘costs’? Or does this make no difference?
    Thanks
