Adding Subpages/Parent and Child Pages
-
Im trying to add subpages to my “blog post” page. So I added”blog posts” as a parent page to a “fashion” page “beauty” page and “lifestyle” page but neither the “blog post” page and those child pages are showing on my site. The only page showing is “Home”.
Please help me fix this.

Thank you, I did that, but I have “Blog Posts” as a Page however it’s still not showing up on my site as a page. The only page showing on the site is “Home”, also how do I now add this “Blog Post” category with their subcategories (“Fashion”, “Beauty” and “Lifestyle” to the actual “Blog Post” Page?

Hi there,
So, you created The Blog Posts page as a category page, not an actual post page. So, if this is how you want to set it up, you’ll need to add the Blog Post category menu via Appearance > Menus > Categories in order to see it in the navigation bar:
Your blog posts menu is showing as invalid because you have not assigned your blog post page as your post page under Settings > Reading.
That may be preferred way to go – once you assign your blog post page, you can add that as a menu item.
Hope that helps.

Hi there,
I can see those submenu items under your Blog Posts menu item:
Or are you speaking of something else?
