  I’ve been looking to answer this by myself–but can’t seem to figure it out. I want the menu to show up on the front of the blog page. Can’t seem to get it to do so. Any ideas? Using Illustratr theme.

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

  Illustratr allows you to have a custom menu in the theme’s header. It can be set up by going to Appearance → Menus. Don’t forget to tick “Primary Menu” in the Menu Settings; if the option isn’t ticked, Illustratr won’t display any menu in its header. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/illustratr/

  I thought I did that–but I’ll try again. This will show even if blog is the default, not the portolio page–correct?
  Thanks

  Yes, it is checked and no, it doesn’t show up. Could it be anything else?
  Thank you.

  You’re nearly there. :-) Looks like you did assign a custom menu to the Primary Menu area in your theme by checking the right box, but you haven’t yet added any actual items to the menu itself.

  If you head to Appearance > Menus, you’ll see that the menu is empty:

  Have a look at the guide to setting up a custom menu to learn how to add things like pages or posts to your menu:

  Let me know how it goes.
