  I need help. As seen above i have pages with a main page.

  Each main page has the same name of the pages the level below.

  Now, when I want to create a menu for each main page, the menus setting is really weird in the control panel. See the photo.

  

  

  As you see, the pages that are supposed to be below the main page in the level, doesnt show up properly under the main page when i want to create the menu. So finding the page that matches the main page will be impossible for me. Can someone help me out?

  The reason you’re seeing a flat list of identical names is that the WordPress Menu ‘View All’ tab often strips away the parent-child hierarchy, showing only the page titles. To fix this without renaming your pages, try using the ‘Search’ tab in the menu creator and type the specific name; sometimes the search results provide more context. Alternatively, a better workaround is to temporarily add a unique suffix to your page titles (e.g., ‘Tasker – Socialdemokratiet’), add them to your menu, and then once they are placed in the menu structure, you can change the ‘Navigation Label’ inside the menu item back to the short name. The menu will keep the correct link even if you change the display label!
