Wordpress theme not showing the pages I add

[2Cunning]

Hi all,

I've recently been fiddling about with wordpress for the first time on my newly acquire domain www.FootballThoughts.co.uk and i've found a really good free theme that I am currently using.

One problem however, and that is for some reason when I add pages they are not added to the pages bit at the side or the black bar at the top. If i switch theme they are displayed so its something wrong in the code.

Here is the code for the menu at the top (black bar)

<div id="header">
<div id="topmenu">
<ul>
<li<?php if (is_home()) echo " class=\"selected\""; ?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">Home</a></li>
<?php
$pages = BX_get_pages();
if ($pages) {
foreach ($pages as $page) {
$page_id = $page->ID;
$page_title = $page->post_title;
$page_name = $page->post_name;
if ($page_name == "archives") {
(is_page($page_id) || is_archive() || is_search() || is_single())?$selected = ' class="selected"':$selected='';
echo "<li".$selected."><a href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\">Archives</a></li>\n";
}
elseif($page_name == "about") {
(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ' class="selected"':$selected='';
echo "<li".$selected."><a href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\">About</a></li>\n";
}
elseif ($page_name == "contact") {
(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ' class="selected"':$selected='';
echo "<li".$selected."><a href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\">Contact</a></li>\n";
}
elseif ($page_name == "about_short") {/*ignore*/}
else {
(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ' class="selected"':$selected='';
echo "<li".$selected."><a href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\">$page_title</a></li>\n";
}
}
}
?>
</ul>
</div>

and here is the code for the pages bit on the right hand side


h3>Pages</h3>
<div class="boxlink">
<ul>
<li<?php if (is_home()) echo " class=\"selected\""; ?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">Home</a></li>
<?php
$pages = BX_get_pages();
if ($pages) {
foreach ($pages as $page) {
$page_id = $page->ID;
$page_title = $page->post_title;
$page_name = $page->post_name;
if ($page_name == "archives") {
(is_page($page_id) || is_archive() || is_search() || is_single())?$selected = ' class="selected"':$selected='';
echo "<li".$selected."><a href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\">Archives</a></li>\n";
}
elseif($page_name == "about") {
(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ' class="selected"':$selected='';
echo "<li".$selected."><a href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\">About</a></li>\n";
}
elseif ($page_name == "contact") {
(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ' class="selected"':$selected='';
echo "<li".$selected."><a href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\">Contact</a></li>\n";
}
elseif ($page_name == "about_short") {/*ignore*/}
else {
(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ' class="selected"':$selected='';
echo "<li".$selected."><a href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\">$page_title</a></li>\n";
}
}
}
?>
</ul>
</div>

An easier way is just to use the built-in wp_list_pages function. Extremely easy to use, don't think it needs to be in The Loop.

Hm.. I've mucked about with it on a draft website eerz.com and it's screwed up a bit, would be really helpful if someone can help me with this!

Thanks,
