I am having difficulty getting my blogs to go to my BLOGS section in the menu and the Sunday TV blog to go to the same on the menu. For some reason there is an arrow that says HOME at the top. I do not have a Home on the menu.My blog is iamnotsickboy.wordpress.com. Thank you
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Right now your site is set up to show all of your blog posts on the front (“Home”) page of your site here: http://iamnotsickboy.com/
If you’d like your posts to show up on your “Blogs” and “Sunday TV Blog” pages, instead, you can follow our guide to set up a static front page. In that process, you can set it up so all of your blog posts show up on a different page (like your “Blogs” page).
If you’d like specific blog posts to show up on your “Sunday TV Blog” page, you can set that up as a Category Page. That way, you can add a specific category to those posts to have them appear there.
Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)

Thank you so much Rachel. I have been trying for so long to figure it out by myself. I now have the blogs going to BLOGS and Red Band Society to SUNDAY TV BLOG, but it still goes to BLOGS also. Is there a way I can make it only go to the one place? Not to BLOGS? Thank you for your patience. Patty

Hey there!
As your page, BLOGS, is your main blog page, it displays ALL of your posts.
It sounds like what you want to do is display the category, Blog, that you set up. I know it’s a little confusing since they both have the same name. So, I’ll step you through what you need to do next.
- Please go to your custom menu setup page:
https://iamnotsickboy.wordpress.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php - Where you see “BLOGS,” you’ll also see a little down arrow next to the word ‘page.’ Click that. Now click “Remove.”
- Once that menu item is gone, you can add the menu item that will display your category. In the left-hand side, you’ll see a list: Pages, Projects, Lists, Categories, etc….
- Click Categories.
- Select Blogs.
- Click Add to Menu. It will appear in the bottom of your blog structure, so you can drag that item up where you want it.
- Then click the Save Menu button.
That should do the trick. Give it a try and let me know how it goes.
Thanks much!
- Please go to your custom menu setup page:

Hi again, I tried to follow all of the directions as stated, but it doesn’t seem to be working for me. Maybe one of the problems is adding ‘the menu item that will display your category.’ I would like the RED BAND SOCIETY posts to be under SUNDAY TV BLOG. I am sorry that this is taking so much time.

Hey there!
Oh no worries, you’ll be a pro with custom menus and categories by the end of this :)
The reason your Red Band Society post is showing up under BLOGS, is that you’ve made SUNDAY TV BLOG a sub-category of BLOGS. Therefore, whatever post you assign to SUNDAY TV BLOG will also display on BLOGS.
Let’s fix this.
Please go to Categories in your Dashboard, or click the link below:
https://iamnotsickboy.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=categoryClick to edit your Category, SUNDAY TV BLOG. In the editor, you’ll see a label for Parent…you’ve opted to give this category the parent, BLOGS. Instead, choose None. Then click the Update button.
That should clear this issue up.
Let me know how it works out for you! Thanks much—-Good luck!

Thank you very much for your patience. I finally have it the way I wanted it. I hope I get better at this pretty soon. You have been a great help.

Fabulous! Thanks for letting me know.
I know the learning curve can be a bit steep, but once you get familiar with all the tools, it’ll become comfortable, I promise! And if it doesn’t…that’s what we’re here for :)
Good luck!
