The secret to this riddle is the middle object---the goat. The goat is the key and must travel back and forth between the two sides.
Take the goat first. Come back alone. Take the cabbage and leave it. WHILE GOING BACK, TAKE THE GOAT BACK TO THE WOLF. Leave goat on wrong side (original side) of river and take wolf. Leave wolf and cabbage on the correct side. Then go back for the goat.

2) go back get the cabbage return with the goat
3) take the wolf across
