Using WordPress as a website

    I have a website with a WordPress forum attached – i.e. I have a self-hosted WordPress blog, and have used the same CSS files to style more than a hundred HTML pages that make up the website, so that the overall look is of a website with a blog as one of its elements. It was a lot of work to make the styles of the website and blog the same.

    I am thinking of upgrading my theme, and I don’t look forward to upgrading all the webpages manually. The obvious solution is to incorporate all these pages into the blog as “Pages”.

    But at present, I can group all my pages into folders which equate to the menu sections, and they are easy to deal with, whereas, as far as I can see, when I go into the Pages section of the WordPress dashboard, all 120 pages appear in one big mass, which makes management and updating more of a chore.

    I guess it’s only a small problem, but I’d really like to be able to group all the pages in the dashboard list. Is that possible please?

    For example, if I could gives the pages categories, I could group them that way. Any ideas please?

    I think this is what you need – https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Pages#Organizing_Your_Pages

    Pages can be put into a hierarchy by assigning a “parent” page to them. This would replicate your current structure.

    Hey thanks, that’s it.

    I have another WordPress blog with quite a few pages, and I thought I had put them all under parent pages, and things were still unstructured, but I had forgotten to do it for many of the pages. When I add the parent, the pages sort fine.

    Thanks.
