Can't seem to get from-path to work in perch_pages_navigation

Hi

I must be having a blonde moment but for the life of me I cannot get from-path to work when using perch_pages_navigation(). Here's my code...

                        perch_pages_navigation(array(
                            'from-path' => '/varieties',
                            'levels'=>1,
                            'hide-extensions' => true,
                        ));

and all it outputs is the root level menu. If i change 'levels' => 2 I do get the root menu plus the /varieties menu too. So Perch knows it's there.

I've doubled and doubled checked and can't see why it's not showing me just the /varieties menu.

Many thanks for any help.

Hello Glen,

Is /varieties a sub-page?

If it is a sub-page, you probably need to use 'from-path' => '/parent-page/varieties'.

Hi Hussien

Many thanks for your help.

Unfortunately not, /varieties is a root directory

While I don't think you normally need to do this, but have you tried using 'from-level' => 2?

perch_pages_navigation(array(
'from-path' => '/varieties',
'from-level' => 2,
'levels'=>1,
'hide-extensions' => true,
));

Hi Hussein

Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately, it's still displaying the root level menu.

Solved

I had moved and renamed the page - so had a look in the database and the pageSortPath had not updated.

Manually amended the database and hey presto!
