    That worked and sidebar is removed. Thank you.
    I need to add a CONTACT me page and have a menu link on the top.
    How do I do this? I tried and it didn’t work.

  • justjennifer –

    @lizkarkoski-would it be possible for you or one of our other HE’s to take a look at myhairtherapy’s Custom Menu to ensure that it is set up correctly?

    We’re looking at two links:
    One for the static HOME page (still missing);
    One for the Posts page, added already by myhairtherapy.

    Yes, of course. I’m looking now and will report back.

  • myhairtherapy – I can help you with this. First, I want to take a look at what I posted in response to justjennifer. Hang tight and I’ll report back.

    Liz….I am in Colorado, US.
    Not sure where you are but I’ll wait for you.

    ngr…….stop spamming on my support post!!!! Go post your own.

    Liz….can you remove this spammer.

  • Unknown's avatar

    @myhairtherapy I’ve removed the spam posts. Sorry about that.

    Since you’ve already added a custom link with the BLOGS link, it is just a matter of repeating the same process for the HOME link.

    staff-zinnia – much appreciated! Thanks.

    Thanks for removing the spammer.

    I don’t know how I did it. Setting up the blog page was accidental and then it was full of issues that had to be corrected, so I don’t know how to do it properly. I tried to set up a contact me page but it’s not working.
    I’m not just making this up for no reason. I WISH I could do this, I would of had it done in 2 hrs. I need to finish this off.
    I wanted to do more, but I’ll just have to do the minimum and that would be to add one more ‘contact me’ page.
    I also need to know how to put in future blog posts so that new posts stay at the bottom of the ‘blogs’ page.

    Please help with these last two things.

    As far as adding new posts, any new post you publish will now appear at the bottom of that BLOGS page because you’ve set up the page to appear with the oldest blog post first.

    All the links you want to add to your Custom Menu are in the Customizer>Menu. But before going further, I want to understand from staff-zinnia that all is set up as it should be in your Customizer and that may be later today.

    I need to leave for a while, but will look in again when I return.

    Ok. Thank you Jennifer

  • Here’s how things are currently set up.

    Go to My Sites > Customizer to follow along. Click on Menus.

    You’ll see there are 3 menus right now.

    1. Blogs

    2. Blogs (2) currently set to the header menu

    3. Primary – here there are invalid page links set up.

    My suggestion would be to use the primary menu space.

    We can help you get the menu set exactly as you want. What titles do you want to have in the menu? Common examples would be a Contact Me page, About page, Blog page… You can add as few or many as you’d like.

    My next question, is if you want the menu to appear where the “blogs” is right now. Your theme has more than 1 menu location. What you see on the site now, “blogs” is the header menu.

    I’m off for a few weeks on vacation with my family. When you reply here, add the “modlook” tag and you’ll get a quicker response. Otherwise, one of my team mates will follow up on all of my open work while I am gone, and you an expect to hear from them.

    Hello,

    I am using the free plan and theme Sela. I just posted my first blog post but it doesn’t show under my Blog page. My Primary menu has Home, About, Blog and Contact pages.
    i have a ‘Recent Posts’ widget on my homepage and the blog post’s name shows there.

    Please help me get this blog post in the Blog page and all my future posts also here.

    Thanks

    My blog is nisreengabuji.wordpress.com
