Can't find the page I just published

  I’ve created a new page and published it, but it doesn’t show up as a tab on my home and other pages. I can see it on “View Page” button when I create it, and find it in the blog’s search window by typing in the name of the page.

  Of course the world at large doesn’t know the name of the page, or even that it exists. They would if it showed up along side the other pages in the tabs. I’ve created this page and deleted it from different computers and different browsers, but nothing seems to work.

  Can any of you offer suggestions? WordPress has not responded to my query (1 week and counting)

  Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Please look in your drafts. Here is the step by step recovery process > Recovering a lost blog post or page

  Troubleshooting – My Pages aren’t appearing
  They must be public pages – not private.
  Public – The page will be visible to everyone.
  Protected – The page is protected with a password you set. Only people who have the password can view a protected page.
  Private – Pages are only visible to blog Editors and Administrators. Private pages are not visible in Blog Surfer, feeds, or in any search. A page can be private without being password protected.

  May I also suggest that in the future using an offline blog editor is a good idea because then you will have a backup copy on your own computer of every post and page you create and punblish to your blog from it?

  If you created a custom menu and it’s not displaying go to the custom menu page in the dashboard Apearance > Menus, be sure you included the Page in question in the custom menu, and in the “theme location” module at upper left select your custom menu from the pulldown and then click “save”.
