I am in the middle of giving a site a makeover (http://www.bingoformen.com) and installed a new template that I really like but unfortunately the pages will go into the order I want them. I have given all of the pages numbers but its still not working.
Does anyone know how I can edit this to get it working?
Thanks in advance
Hi
In your header.php file, locate
wp_list_pages(' ...stuff here ... ')
if within ...stuff here... you see sortcolumn=..something.. change
..something.. to menu_order
so it looks like sort_column=menu_order
if you don't see sortcolumn=..something..
just before the closing apostrophe (or could be a double quote )
add this &sort_column=menu_order
so it now looks like
wp_list_pages(' ...stuff here ...&sort_column=menu_order')
Save, and refresh your website. THAT should cause them to sort in the order you want.

stvwlf has given you the solution above, i can see the area mentioned right there in the code...
Follow the instructions first, then report back if you have a problem, the above code is not as per stvwlf's example.

But now I have a little 'pages[ next to home and all of the other pages only appear as I mouse over that and the bingo reviews list is all out of alignment.
That's because you removed the title_li= part from the function...
As was indicated before, you are not to remove anything, simply replace the sort_column part...
Re-read the instructions... if you still don't get it this time i'll post it for you, but this really should be obvious..
