  Hello WordPress. I’m looking to build a super simple one-page website that just has some simple text with images and links to outside projects hosted on Bandcamp and Souncloud for 3 different aliases of mine. How do I get rid of the social media and main menus? I don’t need an ABOUT or TESTIMONIALS page or any additional page or links to another page. Maybe I will need a simple contact page in the future, but hwt I need is super simple and primitive. Can this be done? Thanks.

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

  If you do not create pages and do not a custom menu then nothing will display in it. In other words, custom menus display only the items you choose to place in them. That said, also be aware that you can create a custom link to any other site in your custom menu.

  Go to your WP admin page -> appearance -> menu. Then delete what you don’t need.

  Thanks for the reply, but how will I know how my site will look before publishing it? The preview still shows default menus / links to their pages which have not been created. I don’t want to publish them see it all looks totally wrong.
