Pages show only after on-site editing in date navigation

Permalink
Hey,

There seems to be a problem with my date navigation. I am using the basic forum app which works fine. All the topics are automatically added as sub-pages to the parent. If I use an auto navigation in the side bar it shows all these sub-pages as it should do. But if I add a date navigation instead these pages don't show. If I then open a page, edit it and publish it without even making any changes it suddenly shows. Any clue what the problem might be? I was constantly logged in as super user so I shouldn't lack permissions.

Thanks!

Unfortunately for me, the date navigation does not work at all, regardless of whether I go back in and edit/publish existing blog pages. The area just remains blank in the sidebar. Running C5 5.6.0.2.

Just a shot in the dark, but try to refresh the page index (via jobs).

Thanks for the idea jshannon. It turns out it was a newbie mistake. I was using a theme (Slate, very nice theme) that has an AutoNav header bar with sub-page drop down capability. I did not want a drop down of EVERY blog post, so I had set all of the blog pages to 'Exclude From Nav'. This fixed the drop down issue, but inadvertently removed all of the pages from the Dave Nav as well.

Thankfully the Slate developer had included comments in his AutoNav php template that described how to create a new Pages custom attribute that would allow excluding of sub-pages from the Slate AutoNav without removing them from other site-wide navigation.

Thanks again for the idea.
