    hello,

    my wordpress won’t allow me to change the order of my pages. it is stuck on alphabetical order. i have tried doing the quick edit and numbering them to put them in order and also a page order plug-in that allowed me to drag and drop in order. it did change the order of the pages behind the scenes for me, but did not on the actual view of the website that is public. help!

    Hi there,

    Thank you for getting in touch with us.

    The easiest way is to open Pages section in WordPress dashboard and hover over the page you would like to reorder. You should see “Quick Edit” link. Once it’s clicked you will see “Order” option which you can change in all pages to sort them as you wish. See this screenshot as reference: http://prntscr.com/mgstup
    If that doesn’t work it might be some plugin conflict. Please deactivate all your plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate all plugins one by one to see which one cause that issue.

    Kind regards

    Could you share the URL to the page where I can see the issue? What plugin are you using for ordering pages?

    Best

    On the url you see the pages listed in alphabetical order, but in my editor page i have them arranged differently in the order I want them in (home, print, about me, on-air, photography, abroad, contact, social media)

    I’m not using a plug-in at the moment because you told me to de-activate it. I only installed the plug-in at the beginning since inputing the order manually like described above didn’t work.

    I found main navigation with the list of pages on your site so I believe you mean the order in main navigation. If it is correct please follow this article on how to reorder menu items: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-add-navigation-menu-in-wordpress-beginners-guide/

    Basically you need to open Appearance → Menus section and select main navigation. Then you just need to drag and drop pages in the order that you want.

    Please note, that the order option in Pages section can be used in Pages widget where is special option to order pages by page order.

    Kind regards
