  Hello Everyone,
  I am trying to change my blog a little bit.
  First of all I want to add the two sub menu’s and their pages under Restaurants Menu (successfully done).

  After that I want to add the links or boxes on the sub pages with different details that take users to different sections. I cannot see how I can do that on the Dashboard especially the page edit box.

  Also how can I edit and delete the categories please. I can edit them from post page but can’t see the option to edit or delete a category.

  At the moment the blog contains too many menus and sub menus and I want to limit the sub menus.

  1 more thing – How can I add the section in contact section where the user can send me a message through a message box.

  thanks in advance for your help.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
  (1) All posts on the front page.
  (2) A static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page.

  By default the front page of a blog displays all published posts in reverse chronological order with the most recently published post on top. When we publish a post on WordPress software the software automatically creates the same entry in the Archives, and on the dynamic (automatically updating) Categories and Tags pages in accord with the Categories and Tags we assign to that post.

  So when we create custom menu and add the dynamic (automatically updating) category pages to that custom menu we create the appearance (not the reality) of posting to more than one page.

  You need to be aware that:

  1. There are differences between posts and pages described here
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  2. There are differences between static pages we bloggers create https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ that will not automatically update, and dynamic category pages created by the software when you publish a post which will automatically update https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/.

  3. We organize posts by category assignment prior to publication. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/ and when we publish posts the dynamic category pages they automatically display on are determined by the categories we assign to them.

  So the process you need to use is:

  a. Assign Categories to your Posts. https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories

  b. Create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu

  c. Add only the dynamic category page links into the custom menu that you want to appear in that menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-category-pages and arrange them as you wish them to appear https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus

  d. Create pages and sub-pages for static content, not for posts https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

  e. Add any custom links and other items like static pages and sub-pages into your custom menu
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-custom-links https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-pages
  and arrange them as you wish them to appear https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus

  Thanks a lot that worked wonder, you’re a genius!

  However I do not get the side tab that lets you edit the categories. It only lets me add categories not edit or delete them
