Hi there. The only way to have post show up in your menu is to set up a custom menu. With custom menus you can easily create nested menus by dragging and dropping. See here for more information: http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

Thank you for your reply. That means, in my case, there is a LIMIT for nesting sub-menus? Let’s say from a main topic no more than 2 nested menus. Example: https://lu2ip.wordpress.com/home/about/cursos-dictados/
If I need to continue nesting I MUST go into CUSTOM MENUS procedure? -
No, there’s no limit. It’s just much easier to create nested menus if you use a custom menu. Also, without a custom menu all you put in the menu are pages. With a custom menu you can also insert posts, categories, links, etc. into the menu.
The last link you gave is for a post, which is why I suggested the custom menu.

Got that and thank you for suggesting the use of custom menus. I started to manage OK the “usual menus” and I would prefer to stick to that for awhile and eventually introduce later the advantages of “custom menus”.
Now allow me please to insist. I need to know why I cant create a submenu under e.g.https://lu2ip.wordpress.com/home/about/comunicaciones-en-emergencia/ As you can see I’m using static pages. After I create one I PUBLISH, next I choose UNDER WHICH PARENT it should go, next I UPDATE, go to APPEARAENCE/MENUS/ADD TO MENU/Check. Next drag the just created page under the parent I decided before, though not just “under” but in the sub-menu physical position.

If you go to Appearance ->Menus you’re already working with a custom menu. That might perhaps be the problem: if you set a parent page under the page attributes and then go to Appearance ->Menus and try to nest it there as well it sometimes causes problems.
Try and edit the page again, and under the Page Attributes, remove the parent page and any page order you may have set. Update the page. Then go to Appearance ->Menus and position the page the way you want it. Remember to save your menu after making any changes.

Oh !! surprise I didn’t know I was working with a custom menu Hi!
Got the idea give the parent page a fresh start, deleting it with all the sub-pages, uploading everything back and BINGO … hope it works it’s almost a two hours job. We’ll let you know.
Have a nice week end !!! -
I apologize if I’m taking a lot of your time.
OMG !!! I just noticed something strange happened with a lot of pages.Let’s start somewhere. I noticed several pages “lost” their PARENT ATTRIBUTE.
I must ask you please, go to:
https://lu2ip.wordpress.com/tecnico-practica/parent-page-archivo-publicaciones-2014/
you will find a list (later I’ll call it “summary”) of pages linked to the pages placed elswhere.
The page’s name, as you can read, is ARCHIVO (spanish for archive)It happens I wanted to unclog the MAIN parent page’s drop down TECNICO-PRACTICA menu, so I created ARCHIVO and the “summary”. This way I thought, you could get to the page clicking the linked descriptions in ARCHIVO. It worked.
But now, with the inconvenience we are dealing together with, I noticed you could get to those pages not only via the links in the “summary” but also via the sub-menus that drop down from ARCHIVO !! despite the custom menu organization.
If you open any of the pages listed in the “summary” you will see in ATTRIBUTES … “no parent”
If you go to ALL PAGES and check the pages listed in “summary” you’ll notice the legend: “Parent Page: ARCHIVO – PUBLICACIONES 2014”, written in black.
If you go to the custom menu, you’ll find the sub menus under TECNICO PRACTICA / ARCHIVO with the organization I originally gave them, that is, BEFORE creating the linked listing.
Should I reverse that “linked list”? Am I dealing with a bug? Please help me.

No need to apologise. I volunteer in the forums because I enjoy helping people, and learn a lot about WordPress in the process :)
If I understand you correctly, you have a list of links to pages on that page, but the links also appear in the menu? If you don’t want those links to appear in the menu but only on the summary page, then you can remove them under Appearance ->Menus. Removing an item there only removes it from the menu, but it won’t delete the page. In other words, you can have a page published on your blog (like those you link to on the summary page), but not have it appear in the menu.
If you open any of the pages listed in the “summary” you will see in ATTRIBUTES … “no parent”
Take note that changes you make under Appearance ->Menus won’t appear in the Page Attributes when you edit the page. That’s why it’s best to rather not change the Page Attributes at all if you’re using a custom menu. Leave “Parent” blank and “Page Order” at zero and make all your changes only under Appearance ->Menus.
