  I want to set my posts up under different tab holders. At present I have my “Turkey & Black Sea” posts set up under HOME whereas I wanted them under a tab called TO TURKEY & THE BLACK SEA. This is the same as I currently have the Lets Go to INDIA tab. What I want people to see on my site when they come to it is: under Introduction the reason why I’m writing the blog (the first post I ever made) and then see the country tab to
  which I’m currently posting. Hope this makes sense; I had to explain what I mean in a bit of a circular way.

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

  Hi Lorraine – You can do this by using categories on your posts, and then setting up Category Pages tabs. We have a full guide for how to do this here:
  Category Pages

  If you get stuck, please let me know which specific step is tripping you up, and what happens when you try to follow it – I’ll be happy to help! :)

  I’ve given it a go and got stuck. I don’t know whether I explained myself very clearly, but it’s not the posts I want to organise but rather the pages, i.e. I want the INTRODUCTION tab followed by TO INDIA TAB followed by POSTINGS FROM INDIA TAB followed by “TURKEY AND THE BLACK SEA”. I followed your instructions and thought I was making good progress; I got to the “appearance/menu/ screen where all four pages were shown. It instructed me there to move the pages into the order I wanted them to appear. I did this and “made change” but it hasn’t changed on my blog. Help?

  Hi Eurello,
  I’ve nearly got there. I have one last bit I just can’t work out. I want INTRODUCTION to appear on the tab behind my first tab (THE AEGEAN< TURKEY AND BLACK SEA but of course it’s a page. How am I able to move it?

  Hi Lorraine – Nice, you nearly had it! But you hadn’t ticked the box for ‘primary navigation’ so your menu wasn’t activated. I activated it for you and removed a couple of duplicate pages.

  You can add or delete pages, and/or drag your pages into a different order here:
  https://lorraine463.wordpress.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php

  Also, if you want to nest any of the tabs under other tabs, you can do that by dragging them slightly to the right in the menu, as pictured here:

  Just remember that each time you make a change to your menu, you need to click the blue “Save Menu” button again.

  Let me know if you need further help with this!
