Custom menu not displaying pages
-
Hi,
I am trying to create a custom menu, but when I try to do so (by going to appearances> menu) the ‘pages’ section on the left hand side doesn’t display any of my pages. I have 6 pages and they are all published, and I can’t seem to find any reason why they wouldn’t be displayed. I would be great to get some help. The blog is http://williamslakecommunityforest.wordpress.com and the theme is Pilcrow.
Many thanks.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Staff have provided help for those who want to structure their blog like a website. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/
What’s critical is:
(1) a clear comprehension of the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
(2) a clear comprehension of the fact that there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. But we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.We organize our posts by assigning Categories to them. When we publish a post it automatically appears on the running page for posts and also on the Categories pages and Archives pages. Note: There must be one published post in each Category in order for there to be anything to display.
A custom menu allows you to display Categories with drop-downs to sub-categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Pages tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages with drop-downs to sub-pages and/or custom links in your custom menu as well. You are in charge of what appears in a custom menu. You choose the order in which to display any and/or all the foregoing in your custom menu. You choose which to display and which to hide. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus
Troubleshooting – My menu isn’t appearing
Go to the custom menu page in the dashboard Apearance > Menus and in the “theme location” module at upper left select your custom menu from the pulldown and then click “save”.Troubleshooting – My pages are in the wrong order
Check the sub-pages themselves to see if you have established a Parent page and child page “hierarchical structure” in the page attributes module. Remove if required. Also remove any “order” numbers you have assigned that may conflict with the order you are creating by dropping and dragging. Or simply change them so they are the same order as you establish in the menu. Establish consistency – problem solved.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. -
Thank you. Perhaps I am getting confused with pages and posts. I thought I understood, but perhaps not. I’ll try again. Thank you for responding.

At present your blog appears to be completely page based. The reason your front page has this error message 404 (page not found) error message “Not Found Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.” is because you deleted the Hello World post and as soon as you publish a post that error message will disappear.
