 * Hi there and thanks for reaching out! Most likely, this issue is due to having
   no page hierarchy selected. In reviewing, we noticed that each page on the site
   shows ‘0’ as the order. 
   This article states that you will need to set the hierarchy
   first before the option to select the parent page will show: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parent-page-missing-in-page-attributes/page/2/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parent-page-missing-in-page-attributes/page/2/)
   We also located multiple articles here advising to use a classic editor instead
   or use a page ordering plugin to identify the correct hierarchy and allow you
   to choose the parent page. Hope this information helps! Please reach out to support
   if you have any questions or additional concerns: [Contact Us | Bluehost.com](https://www.bluehost.com/contact)
