How do I create sub menus (tell it that one page is the child of another)?
-
Hello. I’m new and trying to create a blog using the Twenty Eleven theme with four or five menu items (such as About me, Portfolio, Travel, Pictures etc) . I’d like Portfolio and Travel to have sub menus (have child pages nested in them) underneath them and visible on rollover. I have created the pages that I want to be parents and the pages I want to be children (they appear in a list when I click on All pages) but when I try to order them using the Menus option in Appearance I don’t have the option of moving them around. I think they’re meant to appear in a list on the left and then I could move them around on the right hand side of the screen, but they are not visible on the left. Under ‘pages’ it says ‘no items’. Is there something about the theme that isn’t allowing me to do this? Have I misunderstood what a page is? Is there another part of the site where I can tell it that certain pages are parent/children of each other? I’ve tried the codex and I’m just going round in circles for hours. Right now I’ve deleted the menu completely in the hope that when I resave, it will notice that I’ve tried to create submenus. I’ve tried deleting all the pages and resaving them, and publishing them, but that doesn’t seem to be the answer either. Thanks in advance for any advice you are able to give.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It does – thank you very much. After posting, I looked at a couple of other finished blogs in WP and by watching the url as I scrolled around realised that the menu items are actually referred to in WP as ‘categories’. Now it makes a lot more sense. I wish I’d known that earlier though. Thanks very much for taking the time to guide me.
