Drop down sub menu

    I installed WP on a new site today. In my pages on my older site I can simply create a new top-level page , then a few pages that are set with the TL page as the parent, and publish. When I go to my site I have the TL page. When I hover, the sub menus will appear as drop-downs. To rearrange, I just move the order in my pages editing. No problems.

    I cannot do that in this new site. Changing the page order numbers, and even the parent won’t do a thing. I’ve had to go to appearance > menus, and manually arrange the TL pages, and the child pages, and whatever work I did in the parent/child relationships doesn’t do a thing.

    I’m using the same theme on both sites. Did WP change something, or am I missing something in my settings?

    I want to simply change my page parent/child relationships and/or order number and have the drop-downs work.

    Any help?

    Hi dgrblr,

    It’s hard to say what’s going on here based on just this info – it could be caused by errors introduced by a plugin, but it sounds like you may be having the issue on a fresh install.

    I’d advise turning on debug mode, then attempting to change the order of the pages through the editor. This should help identify the issues source.

    Modern WordPress uses menus for this sort of thing, so won’t automatically populate. It’s likely that your previous theme just used a function to list all pages.

    Whether you can go back to the previous way depends if the theme uses the ‘all pages’ function as a fallback if no menu is set.
