  I’ve added pages to the primary menu and have been trying to reorder them. It seems it’s not accepting my changes. I had added a couple pages to the menu and after removing those pages to see if I could start fresh, they aren’t removing now. The pages I attempted to remove are Exercise Posts and Resources. I do want them on there, but would prefer this order: Home, About, Exercise Posts, Resources, Contact. Is there a step I’m missing?

  Have you used these guides:
  Create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu
  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

  and arrange them as you wish them to appear https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus

  I didn’t encounter this issue on my test site using Baskerville 2. After you updated your Custom Menu under Menus, did you also open the Customizer to make sure that this menu was set as the menu for the primary location?

  Hi Rhonda, I don’t currently see a custom menu assigned to your theme, only the default one, which isn’t something you can edit directly. The default menu displays all your published pages, ordered from new to old.

  Try these steps in the Customizer‘s Menus panel:

  1. Click “Header” under Menu Locations to assign the custom menu to your theme.

  2. Click “Add Items” to select more pages to add to your menu.

  3. Drag and drop the menu items to your liking to set the order. You can see the effect in the preview pane as you work.

  4. Click “Save & Publish” when you’re ready.

  Let me know how it goes.
