How to link titles in menu to pages I've published
-
I just barely started here. How do I make it so titles in my menu will go to a specific page when clicked on instead of just not doing anything?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
The first step would be to create pages corresponding to the menu items. Menu items are just links.
Your “Me” page has the URL https://visionaryspeculations.wordpress.com/me, but I do not find pages corresponding to the other menu items I’ve checked. For example, we would expect to find pages with the following URLs:
- https://visionaryspeculations.wordpress.com/struggling
- https://visionaryspeculations.wordpress.com/tests
and child pages such as
but these URLs don’t exist, so the corresponding pages most likely do not exist, or at least aren’t published.
On the Escutcheon theme, links to published pages will automatically appear in the “classic menu” (aka the default pages menu), but the presence of many menu items without links in your menu indicates that you have a custom menu activated. In a custom menu, links to static pages would most easily be added as described in the Additional Menu Items and Adding Pages sections of the Custom Menus support page.

That is, only after the pages have been created.

Wanted to add on to @musicdoc1’s spot-one description of setting up your menu – if you find yourself in the menu editor and want to link to a page you haven’t created yet, there is now an option to Create a new page for this menu item – that lets you add a link to the menu and simultaneously creates a matching page that you can go and edit later on. :)
