WordPress MU

   I just migrated a site over from WP to WPMU and all went fine except for one page that no longer works. It was a page template that had a custom loop of pages using the following code:

   <?php $page_query = new WP_Query('post_type=page&post_parent=2&orderby=ID&order=ASC&showposts=20'); ?>
           <?php while ($page_query->have_posts()) : $page_query->the_post(); ?>
           <!-- Post Starts -->
           <div class="post wrap"> 
   
             <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
   
             <h2 class="author_title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
             </a>
             <h3 class="author_title"><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "auth_title", $single = true); ?></h3>
   		<p><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "page_excerpt", $single = true); ?> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" class="more">Read More >></a></p>
           </div>
             <?php endwhile; ?>

   Now that I'm on WPMU that page is blank. Its not breaking the template, the header and footer still show but the content area is completely blank. I have searched for a while for all the different functions but couldn't find anyone with similar problems. Anyone have any insight why this loop is not working on WPMU?

   Check your post_parent variable in the WP_Query string. That likely changed in your migration. Otherwise it looks like the code should work.

   Thanks Tim, that was it! I'm a little embarrassed that I didn't catch that myself. I get so frustrated with code sometimes I am quick to assume that there is some big complicated problem.
