Lost parent page pull-down menu

    I created a page, “Resources” with about 6 subpages. When I tested the site live briefly, I could see the parent page and the subpages listed.

    When I logged back in tonight to create more subpages and clicked create new page, I no longer see the parent pull-down menu in the Attributes panel on the right side.

    And if I go into edit page mode for subpages already established, it does not show the parent page pull-down menu on those pages either and then if I edit and save, it saves them as top-level.

    I have no idea what setting I might have changed to cause this problem, but how do I get the subpages/parent menu to show in create new page or edit page mode?

    Additional info:

    I checked the error log for server and see that when I am trying to edit pages, it’s returning an error message showing it’s looking for WP-POLLS, even though I’m not doing anything with polls and am just trying to edit a page. So I deactivated the WP-POLLS plugin and tried again. It will create a new page, but without showing the parent page pulldown menu. And everything is still messed up if I try to edit an existing page and it loses the previously established subpage state. So I tried to check/repair the database, and see this in the server log:

    WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘ORDER BY pollq_id DESC’ at line 1 for query SELECT pollq_id, pollq_question FROM ORDER BY pollq_id DESC made by wp_list_widgets, call_user_func_array, wp_widget_control, call_user_func_array, widget_polls_options, referer: http://[url]/wp-admin/page.php?action=edit&post=16

    What the heck is going on and what do I do? I’ve never had any problems with previous versions of Word Press, and I really need to get this new domain set up.

    I should note that although I’ve had the WP-POLLs plugin activated until now, the page creation and editing functions were working fine. I have no idea what happened between the last time I shut down and this time, but logging out didn’t work and nothing’s working. I’m losing all my hard work. Help, please!
