  I am starting my new website and I know how to create a menu to my site. But I don’t know how to create a different menu for my different pages on my site. I search online but I get different options mainly something about php file. I need easy steps. I appreciate your help. Also, I subscribed to getting my own website address in word press. How come I can’t view the plugin and all other features in my Dashboard?

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

  This is a free hosted WordPress.com blog. http://mikesalinas.com/ You cannot access the php files as we have no database access, there is no FTP access and we cannot install plugins. So “you can’t on yopur WordPress.com blog” is the correct answer to your question. Please read this comparison > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Hi timethief. I actually paid for the $25 fee for getting my own website address, hence my website mikesalinas.com. So I would assume that I can show different menus for my different pages on my site?

  Why did your assume that? Didn’t you read this?
  Important Notes Before Upgrading
  You paid for domain mapping and that’s all you get.

  If you want the features and functions of a WordPress.org install you have to hire a web host and set up a WordPress.org install.
  After you do that then as you’ve registered your domain through WordPress.com and now want it to point to a blog or website hosted elsewhere then you can do this by updating the nameservers.

  There is n o relationship whatsoever between purchasing a domain mapping upgrade and custom menus at all.

  Sometimes people refer to different menus when in fact they are referring to items in a menu. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

  Sometimes people refer to different menus without being clear on the fact that we can use custom menu widgets. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/custom-menu-widget/

  There are many common errors, misunderstanding and misconceptions when creating custom menus and you can read about them here > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/custom-menus/
