Adding Child Pages
-
I would like to add subpages (children) to a menu item. I have created the titles in the menu as children to the parent. I then created the pages and indicated their to children to the parent. When I say and check my website the pages do not appear. I do not know what I am doing wrong and I’m not even sure I have adequately described the problem so you can help me figure out what to do to fix. Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I have tried everything, but just can’t figure out what I am doing wrong. I did not download WordPress preferring to work directly from the site. Not sure if that is good or bad…

I too am having difficulties too with adding subpages. Never in the passed… was worpress updated? You use to be able to add a subpage to any main menu title, like a drop menu…but everytime I add a page, and go into adding it to a parent page, it doesn’t take. why is there problems all of a sudden?
Also my main menu doesn’t follow the actual page it show the Home page or the first post I posted …new help figuring this out please -
I think you are asking: How do I set up a custom menu?
This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page.
(2) Or 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-menusPlease see https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/
