 * I have had this exact problem in Firefox 1.5.0.1 and Safari 2.0.3. Very odd. “
   Save” and “Save and Cont. editing” buttons do not function. WP 2.0.2. Seems to
   happen only when editing Pages, not Posts.

 * hbalagh – would you mind sharing how you got the listing on your file-archive
   page? I’m using the file manager plugin to upload files on the admin side, but
   i would love to know how to list those files as you did… and how you got the 
   sorting to work. Also, is the file date displayed pulled dynamically from the
   file, or are you manually editing that info? Thanks!

 * Just FYI for anyone else using MicroShop that might have encountered this issue.
 * I installed everything with ease (thanks for posting the wiki entry!)… but started
   noticing a bizarre issue (in the store) where the prices i had set were being
   altered… like the first few numbers, including the ($) dollar sign… were… gone.
   The prices in the database were correct, so I searched through the code. I found
   that wherever there was a dollar sign that was intended as an HTML output “$”(
   not a variable), it was being parsed as a variable.
 * From: [http://us4.php.net/types.string](http://us4.php.net/types.string)
    “Simple
   syntax – If a dollar sign ($) is encountered, the parser will greedily take as
   many tokens as possible to form a valid variable name.”
 * I decided to try using the html char. code (& #36;) in place of the $ signs… 
   and that solved my issue.
 * For example, in line 142 of index.php (the MicroShop script)… I changed
 * THIS:
    `echo "<td class="itemprice"><strong>Price:</strong><br/>$" . number_format(
   $item->item_price, 2) . "</td>n";`
 * TO THIS:
    `echo "<td class="itemprice"><strong>Price:</strong><br/>& #36;" . 
   number_format($item->item_price, 2) . "</td>n";`
 * Did anyone else notice this? Is it common to have to use (& #36;) in place of
   a $ sign in PHP (where you want to echo a $ sign)? Just trying to understand 
   this… I’m fairly new to PHP.
 * Thanks for the script, Ringmaster.
    Amanda
 * * If you use the char code, remember to close up the space between
    (& #36;) 
   I had to post it this way… the backticks didn’t work.

 * Thank you for your response.
 * I’ve replaced the functions.php and template-functions-post.php files with the
   newest ones. This solved the warning issue I was experiencing on pages that had
   no “children.” So, thank you for that.
 * The remainder of my issue that I’d love to get worked out is this:
    If you click
   on either of the 2 sub-pages, the sub-nav disappears, and also the “hit state”
   in the main nav goes away. [http://thebeadedrose.com/?page_id=14](http://thebeadedrose.com/?page_id=14)
 * This is the code I’m using in my sidebar.php now:
    `<?php if($wp_query->is_page&&!
   is_home()) { $lp_param = ""; $lp_param = "title_li=<h3>" . __('In This Section')."
   </h3>&child_of=" . $wp_query->get_queried_object_id(); wp_list_pages($lp_param);}?
   >
 * And this is the code for my header/main nav:
    `<?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&sort_column
   =menu_order&title_li='); ?>`
 * How do we tell a child page that it’s a child, and still display the correct 
   subnav items? And how do we tell it to keep the “on state” in the main nav “on”?
 * I appreciate any ideas/brainstorming.

 * Wow. This one is driving me batty! I’ve spent two long nights on this so far (
   because i’m stubborn and like to figure things out on my own)… but I give up…
   so, I’m asking for specific help here. I have tried everything mentioned on this
   forum in regards to “wp_list_pages” and “sub-navs” and “child_of”, etc. I’ve 
   also tried out the wonderful plugin that Adi listed above, in addition to this
   one:
    [http://www.darkmuse.co.uk/wordpress/customize/plugins/](http://www.darkmuse.co.uk/wordpress/customize/plugins/)
 * I still haven’t found a solid solution for what I need my site to do. This is
   a site I created for a friend of mine, it’s located here temporarily: [http://thebeadedrose.com](http://thebeadedrose.com).
 * All pages on the site are individual “Pages” and “Sub-Pages.”
 * I was able to get the main nav working finally by using this bit of code in my
   header:
    ` <?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&title_li='); ?
   >  So far, so good.
 * The problem comes in with my sub-pages. The only ones I have setup now on the
   test site are under “Company”…..
    [http://thebeadedrose.com/?page_id=14](http://thebeadedrose.com/?page_id=14)
 * Problem #1 –
    If you click on either of the 2 sub-pages, the sub-nav disappears,
   the warning appears, and also the “hit state” in the main nav goes away.
 * Problem #2 –
    If you click around the rest of the site… you’ll see the warning
   is displayed on every page that has no “children” or subpages.
 * This is the code I’m using in the sidebar to display a Page’s children:
    ` <?
   php wp_list_pages('child_of=' . $page_id . '&title_li=<h3>' . __('Pages') . '
   </h3>' ); ?>
 * I thought about doing an “if/else” statement in the sidebar… something that says“
   If Page has no child… end…. else, display the children”… but it also needs to
   say “If Page IS a child itself, display the siblings.”
 * I love WordPress, but I’m still trying to wrap my head around PHP.
 * Thanks for any clues,
    Amanda
