[SOLVED] child pages not showing
 

My child pages appear linked in the WP pages directory but don't show up on the site. Is there a setting I'm missing? I've spent hours looking and trying different plugins, etc but nothing works.

Could you supply a URL?

Sure, This is my 1st website, and my 1st forum so I'm stumbling through this. On the lyrics page I want an alphabetical list of song titles that you can click on to open. Thanks! http://theblueribbonteacompany.com/

I have used the List Category Posts plugin for that type of thing. Since this is your first website there may be a bit of a learning curve to implementing but it should do what you want.

This is one of the plugins I tried but I don't understand how to write the code to make it work. You're right. Lots more learning to go! Thanks!

Still not working.. List Category is enabled, used the code [catlist name="lyrics" orderby="title ASC, ID ASC" numberposts="100"], selected lyrics category, permalinks look right, but instead of showing in the lyrics page the goes to the main page. It's making me crazy. Any more ideas would be much appreciated.

It does get confusing doesn't it. Try one of these.
OR
where xx is the id of the category. It seem like I found that using an id works better.

Thanks much but unfortunately neither worked. It seems to connect to an uncatagorized news post that I have on the main page. humm...

What is the id of the "lyrics" category?

The page id number is 71.

The catlist plugins works with categories not pages. You would put the code I gave you in the Lyrics page but what you need to do is create a post category of Lyrics and create posts of the lyrics in that category.

So you would have a single post for each song with a category of Lyrics. Then when you go to the Lyrics page the catlist shortcode will show all the titles of the posts in alphabetical order.

I'm wondering if you wanted the category slug id? I used lyrics-2 because that's in the URL.

If you click on Posts>Categories and hover over the lyrics category you will see the id in the status bar at the bottom the browser window. Or you can install the Simply Show IDs plugin and a column is created that has the id.

I am having a similar problem. The catlist doesn't recognise the name= option. If I don't include it then there's a list of posts produced, but if name= is included then nothing is produced.

Someone posted about this potential conflict between ATA and Catlist on their forum just a few days ago. No one was able to identify the cause but one person suggested that upgrading to ATA 3.5.3 would resolve it.

I was running Atahualpa 3.4.9 and have now updated to 3.5.3 but it is still not working properly.

This is one of the catlist instructions I am using:
[catlist name=Standard excerpt=yes numberposts=-1 orderby=title]

If I take out the name= option it works fine.

Any advice would be appreciated.

My URL is http://www.gbw247.info/executive-post/?page_id=53

Thanks very much,
Graham.

Try using id=xx instead of name. It seems like I have had issues with the name or double check the name and slug are the same.

Larry (apologies, I think I called you Miles the other day)

You are a STAR, Sir!

Thank you very much.

I shall post a message to that effect on the other site too!

Many thanks, Graham.

My middle name is Miles (my great grandfather's name) so it's kind of nice to have it used.
