Re: howto re-link orphan pages

Hi,

In the move selection pop-up (when you try to 
move a page on the destination point), you should 
have a tree view of your pages and a flat view. 
So perhaps you can move the "hidden" pages back 
into a navigation menu by using this flat view 
mode and then correctly delete your pages.
