Hello.

I'm making a (more or less static) website in Wordpress, where I have a horizontal menu showing all the parent pages. I have a few subpages connected as children to one of the parent pages. The links to the subpages are showing in the sidebar.php using the following code:


<?php
	$children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&echo=0');
	if ($children) { ?>
	<ul class="submenu">
		<?php echo $children; ?>
	</ul>
<?php } ?>

But when I click on one of those links, the design is a mess. The content shows up in the sidebar. So here is my question: Can I make the content of the links in the sidebar show up in the "main content area" - if so, how?

And one more question: When I add a page as a child to a parent page, it's showing in the main horizontal menu, messing up the design - is it possible to exclude the title of this child page in the main menu, but still keep the listing in the sidebar (when the parent page with children is selected?

I really hope I can get some answers.

Thanks in advance,
Kralle

I would just start by running your code through the validator, it will help you pick up on anything that isn't closed, like a div for example.

Then I would have a run through some tutorials - your questions are pretty huge and have many answers/outcomes because there are many things that can be causing the problems :)

It might just be easier if you are able to familiarise yourself with WP again :D

I know it's a huge question, but you're right. I should get to know Wordpress a little better before I jump into something this "big". It's too much for a guy at my level. I think I'll start by making a few custom templates and link to the instead of making it all "automatic".

Thanks for your suggestion, sir. :-)

EDIT: I added [SOLVED] to the title, so people won't come with suggestions I'm not ready for yet.

No probs - there are some excellent tutorials around on CSS Tricks and Chris' other site http://digwp.com/ - also there are plenty on the http://net.tutsplus.com/ site :)
