  • under the Attributes section on a Page, I see ‘Parent’, ‘Template’ and ‘Order’. ‘Template’ and ‘Order’ have a dropdown menu and an input box respectively, but there are no options for ‘Parent’. Any clue?

    I figured out what was going on.. I upgraded a site that was in the middle of deveopment and all of the previous hirearchy carried over, but since apparently in the mind of this release, nothing had been published before, it didn’t present me with any of the existing pages. There was no option for ‘Main Page (no parent)’ either, so this may need to be looked at.

    I had exactly the same problem as described above but finally got rid of it: Having a look at the MySQL table ‘wp_posts’ it seemed as the ‘Homepage’ entry had a wrong ‘post_parent’ attribute. Actually, it was pointing to a page which didn’t exist. After changing this value back to ‘0’ all the dropdown options reappeared instantly.

    Don’t know whether this was a very specific problem but maybe this helps some of you facing similar problems.
    Cheers.
