  Hello,
  All of my pages when I preview them go back to my static home page (About). All of my pages, shown in dashboard, have the content I want but do not upload. They all just go back to the static page. What’s going on? Can someone help? Thanks!!

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

  Hi,

  All of my pages when I preview them go back to my static home page (About).

  I’m unable to preview your pages, since volunteers such as myself do not normally have access to page editors, or any of the administrative pages of another member. However, I do notice that some of your custom menu links are incorrectly formed. The “Tickets,” “Venue/Getting There,” “Thursday,” “Friday,” “Saturday,” and “Sunday” subcategory menu items all link to the “Date” page.

  I mean the “Dates” page.

  You can not create pages at the Menus page. Custom menu items can only link to URLs that exist. So the first thing to do is to create those static pages, such as https://thelionandsunfilmfestival.wordpress.com/films/thursday, which presently don’t exist. Then modify your menu items accordingly, changing the destination URLs.

  I created pages by using the pages item. I also made “films” the parent page. I then went to the menu item, added the pages and lined them up accordingly. That URL you put in your comment is what shows up when I create the page, so I’m not sure what to do :/ Thank you for your help!

  I created pages by using the pages item.

  The Thursday through Sunday pages and the corresponding menu items look fine now.

  I also made “films” the parent page.

  Where is it? There is no published page with the slug “films,” and no “films” menu item.

  That URL you put in your comment is what shows up when I create the page

  The page and the menu link to it are working correctly.

  Correction, and clarification:

  That URL you put in your comment is what shows up when I create the page

  The page and the menu link to it are working correctly.

  The link I provided, https://thelionandsunfilmfestival.wordpress.com/films/thursday, didn’t exist when I included it in a post above. I suggested that it be created. If it was created, as you suggest (“I also made “films” the parent page.”) I haven’t found evidence that it is published. Perhaps due to similarity, clicking on that link now redirects to the URL https://thelionandsunfilmfestival.wordpress.com/dates/thursday.

  Haven’t found evidence that https://thelionandsunfilmfestival.wordpress.com/films/ is published. Dates is the parent page of the Thursday – Sunday pages.
