I use pages and posts on my sites. This post will help me go back to my sites and take another look at them to decide if adding pages and sub pages may solve a few problems I am having in the stategy of how I present my information.

thanks for the great post!

Thanks, Gui!
After reading this enlightening post, I realized why I want subcats:

I have two categories that have subcategories. Fiction and Poetry.
In order to keep my post pages uncluttered, I don’t want every single poem showing up on the sidebar.

Right now, it seems to be all or nothing.

Cheers,

Mitch

@Sue -

Now, the next question: How will these child pages of say, your recipes display on the parent page? Will they be links? Or what is the proper php call to get them to show up as such?

Ah, that is a great question!

Keep in mind that what I explain on this post is how to categorize pages and posts within wordpress. You are pretty much free to present them as you wish when you create a theme or choose one that performs this adequately.

Inside a theme, you could, for instance, create a layout called, say, “section-pages” which, in addition to the content, they also display a list of all subpages.

By selecting this template for your section pages, the list of subpages would be automatically generated.

The Kubrik theme (WP default) displays subpages adequately in the sidebar.

Is up to the imagination of whoever creates or tweaks a theme.

Thank you for this post, Guilherme. I too wondered why, and in fact even found a plugin (rather a useless one, btw), that claimed to make pages have categories. I even forget now why I wanted it.

Now, the next question: How will these child pages of say, your recipes display on the parent page? Will they be links? Or what is the proper php call to get them to show up as such?

I’m anxiously awaiting your next installment…
