You could create an archives.php template for pages.
And then make a page and choose it as a template.

Most themes already have this template so you may not need it.

It should look something like this:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Archives
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="content" class="widecolumn">

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>

<h2>Archives by Month:</h2>
  <ul>
    <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
  </ul>

<h2>Archives by Subject:</h2>
  <ul>
     <?php wp_list_cats(); ?>
  </ul>

</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Yeah, they/you did a very good job.

Yep, hope it helped.

This is a code that I use to show subpages when on a parent page AND while on a child page. It could easily be changed to echo something else if the page is a child.

<?php
	if($post->post_parent)
		$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); else
		$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
	if ($children) { ?>

	<ul>
		<?php echo $children; ?>
		<?php } ?>
	</ul>

Wouldn’t it be easier to apply a page template rather then opening up a file and editing it when ever you want a wide page?

develop and style a wide page once and just choose it from the page template drop down when making a page when you’re making the page sounds a lot easier to me. What would be the downside?

try placeing this code in your header or whereever your menu is called from.
you should have somethin like this right now?

<ul class="menu">
      <?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&title_li='); ?>
</ul>

try making it this:

<div class="menu">
	<ul>
		<?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&title_li='); ?>
	</ul><br />
<?php
	if($post->post_parent)
		$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); else
		$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
	if ($children) { ?>

	<ul>
		<?php echo $children; ?>
		<?php } ?>
	</ul>
</div>

That should put child page navigation right below your parent navigation when and if there are child pages. It should also show them if you are on a child page too.
