# Cannot assign Parent Page

 * Hello everybody,
    I stumbled on a problem that has appeared in a similar way 
   in the past ([https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parent-option-gone-in-5-0/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parent-option-gone-in-5-0/),
   [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-5-no-option-for-parent-under-page-attributes/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-5-no-option-for-parent-under-page-attributes/)).
 * I cannot assign parent pages for one of my pages. I would like to have different
   pages as subpages of the Project page. I am using the Astra theme and Elementor.
   I tried disabling all plugins except for Elementor, and I tried changing the 
   theme, but both didn’t work. I also tried to change the Template from Default
   to Elementor Full Width…
    Sadly, for me the workaround (Quick Edit) that has 
   been described in the problem statements linked above doesn’t work. The Quick
   Edit page looks like the following for me: [https://ibb.co/3M7tHNm](https://ibb.co/3M7tHNm)
   Nothing happens when I click on parent. I would be really thankful if somebody
   had an idea what to do. Best regards!

 * Hey [@iambherulal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iambherulal/) ,
    thank
   you for finding the time to write me! Sorry for not responding earlier, I am 
   doing this wordpress thing on the sideline and didn’t have the time before to
   check out the solutions. Sadly, I still have the problem. I also encountered 
   another problem, that has been mentioned in the github forum: When I go to Settings-
   >Reading, I can only put one of my pages as the homepage (and not the one I want,
   sadly). Maybe WP doesn’t know I have the pages that I have? I also tried deleting
   the .htaccess file, but this didn’t work (the old one looks exactly like the 
   new one)
