   After changing the Parent Attribute to a different template for a page post, now all pages default to that template, even if I select Main Page (no parent) from drop down box.

   ANy thoughts

   The Parent Attribute and the Template Attribute are two different things...the Template Attribute has no parent/child relationship.

   Could you rephrase your question, please.

   After Selecting the following options for a page post:
   Attributes
   Parent: HJN Feed
   Template: Default
   Order: 0

   All page post follwing the above reflect HJN Feed as parent, even if I select
   Parent: Main Page(No Parent)
   Template: Default
   Order: 0

   Permalink: http://www.horsesportsmedia.com/?page_id=14/?page_id=47

   is what I receive when I post a test page with

   Parent: Main Page(No Parent)
   Template: Default
   Order: 0

   The post is just page_id = 14

   I had no problem before making the change to HJN Feed

   Also, try changing your permalink structure to the default.

   There are only four pages: Go to http://www.horsesportsmedia.com and you will see three of them in the nav bar.

   You can also view the fourth http://www.horsesportsmedia.com/?page_id=47 which is just a test page

    I'm a bit confused by the problem.

    Change to the WordPress Default Theme, deactivate all Plugins, remove all Widgets, and add at least one Page that has something other than Main as the Parent.

    In the sidebar do your Pages show with the proper 'hierarchy', meaning that one Page is listed indented under the parent Page?

    I chahged to the default theme and removed all widgets and plugins. You can again view at http://www.horsesportsmedia.com

    When I added Test 2 Page it appears as
    Permalink: http://www.horsesportsmedia.com/?page_id=14/?page_id=50

    Weird. Do you have an .htaccess file you can rename?

    And using the Default Permalink structure.

    Not being much help here...

    Under Administration > Settings > General, make sure WordPress and Blog addresses are both: http://www.horsesportsmedia.com

    It's got to be the Settings->General thing I pointed to.

    You are correct. Static entrance page which is .../?page_id=14 was also set as Blog Address.

    Changed and all appears to be well

    Thanks again for all of your help. I manage 6 different Blogs and this was a weird problem for me.
