# wp_list_pages “include” parameter causing formatting issues, nesting problem

 * Hello!
    I am using the Suckerfish drop-down menu ([http://pixopoint.com/suckerfish-wordpress-plugin/](http://pixopoint.com/suckerfish-wordpress-plugin/)),
   and have encountered a peculiar problem.
 * For some reason, the children stopped nesting all of a sudden. I installed the“
   Page Links To” plugin recently, and then reordered the pages using the “My Page
   Order” WordPress plugins. I don’t know if those plugins had anything do do with
   the issue, but I uninstalled them and doing so did nothing to correct the problem.
 * Here’s what SHOULD be happening:
    Parent > Child > Child Parent Parent > Child
 * And here is what is happening:
    Parent Child Child Parent Parent Child
 * I am using the following function: `<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&include=78,86,88,90,92,94,96,98,100,102,104,106,123,125,229');?
   >`
 * When I use `<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>`, everything works properly!
 * ALSO, when I substitute “exclude” for “include” in the wp_list_pages parameters,
   the menu formats properly (but the links aren’t what I want). So, is this a problem
   related to the “include” parameter??
 * Any thoughts?

 * Thanks!
