   In WP 2.6 it was possible to choose an unpublished page as parent page attribute of a page. I used that for my navigation on this site: http://www.cevi.ws. In 2.7 it is not possible anymore. The unpublished pages don't appear in the pulldown menu.
   Is this a feature or a bug? For me it’s a problem…

   I am having the same MAJOR problem. I am developing a new site and I do not see a drop down menu for parent pages, which my design requires.

   Please help.

   Well, I figure out the "problem." All of my pages are drafts. I had to publish a page before it was available as the parent page.

   Not sure I like this, as I wanted to develop behind the scenes.

   Neither can I. My drop-down list shows only 15 choices, with no scroll available, and I can't use the down arrow to go further (and I have have more than 14 published pages (15th choice is "no parent") to choose from).

   I use unpublished pages as parents (shown in bold) to create this effect: blog.com/pix/2008/page, and blog.com/pix/2009/page.

   Currently, it won't work this way when I update existing pages or publish new ones. Manually editing the stub/permalink won't work because the slash is automatically removed.

   Hi folks,

   I just run into the very same problem. And it seems, in the meantime there is a bug-ticket about that which targets v2.8.

   For those of you who cannot wait (includes me) there is a quick and dirty hack, which ignores privacy, authentication and surely some coding and forum rules... but here it is:

   Replace line 2168 of file wp-include/post.php with:
   $query = "SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts $join WHERE (post_type = 'page') $where ";

   Be aware that this feature is about to make its way in v2.8 so it won't matter that this hack will get overridden.

   ~~~ Cheers.

   One further note:

   This way of reintroducing the feature IS NOT RECOMMENDED AND HIGHLY UNSTABLE. i.e. the parent-relationships get corrupted now and then, so be careful and don't expect to much.

   Aside of that, it seems to work.

   Mmh, I guess I'm responsible to avoid destroyed wordpresses ;)

   In v2.7.1 the code line changed! Don't use line 2168 anymore. To reintroduce this hack change line 2173.

   Be careful!
