WordPress Tutorial – Make "Child" Subpages and Subpage Links

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

This Beginner-level WordPress tutorial shows how to create a “child” subpage that has another page as its “parent”. You can make links to these subpages using the Blogroll. In some WordPress themes, links to child subpages appear underneath a link to the parent page in the website navigation links – either in the sidebar or under the main horizontal navigation links. In other WordPress themes, you cannot see any links to child pages. In either case, you can create a visible link to a child page by making a new link under one of your Blogroll categories. This tutorial also shows how to find the web address (URL) of a WordPress child page when it is not visible anywhere in the website navigation links.
