Trouble Arranging Page Order in WordPress ?

From time to time , I make additions , or revisions to my site , and of course then comes the arduous task of rearranging the page order . ( for aesthetic reasons you don't want your contact page to be the first on the navigation bar , etc ) By default , the lovely people at wordpress have provided you the option to rearrange your page order by simply assigning it a number , and every page after that with a number until the pages are in the order that you want them in. Ohm, and god forbid you have sub-pages m ( nightmare)

However , certain templates don't play nice with that feature , and when you can get it to work ,it sometimes gives you undesirable results. 

Step into the My Page Order plugin. This plugin once installed , allows you to do move the pages around with a very simple to use "WYSIWYG" type panel. Just rearrange the pages in the order that you want them , and presto , your navigation is changed.

Here is a screen shot of what the plugin looks like after it has been activated.

To access , simply click on "My page Order" , and then you will be taken to this screen 

Simply rearrange the Pages by dragging them to where you would like them. . When you are done , press "Click to Order Pages"

If you notice , there is also an option that allows you to re-order any subpages that you may have. ( very nice ) .

And that's it. This plugin takes the guess work out of arranging your wordpress pages.
