  My page is invisible. I made ‘About’ my parent page and I then made another page ‘Our Artists’. I want this to follow the parent page. I’ve tried leaving it as it alphabetically follows ‘About’. I’ve tried numbering it as 1 and also 2, but that doesn’t work either. I can’t work out what to do.

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

  Troubleshooting – My Pages aren’t appearing
  They must be public pages – not private and not drafts so check the page visibility setting http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-visibility/.
  Public – The page will be visible to everyone.
  Protected – The page is protected with a password you set. Only people who have the password can view a protected page.
  Private – Pages are only visible to blog Editors and Administrators. Private pages are not visible in Reader, feeds, or in any search. A page can be private without being password protected.

  If you have created a custom menu then add the Page to it.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

  Note that you can enable this on your custom menu settings at the bottom of the page:
  Menu Settings
  Auto add pages
  __ Automatically add new top-level pages to this menu

  re: changing the order of Pages, not Posts

  There are two approaches.
  1. If you have only pages in your horizontal menu and that’ is all you want in it see here to use numerical order. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/#order

  2. Creating a Custom Menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#creating-a-custom-menu
  Adding Pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-pages
  Changing the Order & Creating Sub-Menus http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus

  Custom menu Troubleshooting – My pages are in the wrong order
  Check the sub-pages themselves to see if you have established a Parent page and child page “hierarchical structure” in the page attributes module. Remove if required.

  Also remove any “order” numbers you have assigned that may conflict with the order you are creating by dropping and dragging. Or simply change them so they are the same order as you establish in the menu. Establish consistency – problem solved.

  Thankyou for your time in responding. It was the Menu that I hadn’t properly sorted and now I’ve got the page showing as a sub-page to the ‘About’.
  As a newbie still fumbling about so grateful for your imput.
