    I started a new blog but messed something up and lost the parent-child page setup and menu. How do I get this back?
    TIA

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

    Go to > Appearance > Menus to restore your custom 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.

    I did make sure I have renumbered pages in specific order. I still do not have a choice of parent and child under page attributes. I have tried to drag and drop from the All Pages list, but it blocks any movement.
    I have tried to remove any old menu attempts, then added a new menu, and checked to automatically add new pages. Nothing is showing up. I still do not know how to add the menu to my first page, since it disappeared.
    Maybe it would be easier to start over, if it is possible to remove all my attempts to create pages and posts?
    Thanks

    If you want a fresh start on your WordPress.com site, you can delete all of your content from your site and still keep your current WordPress.com address (such as yourgroovysite.wordpress.com). Here’s how to do it:

    thanks to both timethief and pmciano for suggestions. I was not able to figure how to add back my page attributes to get parent and child pages, so I revamped my plan for the site. I followed directions on how to empty the site and started over, with a new theme.
    I think part of my problem was trying to keep individual pages private instead of the whole site, seems they were hidden from my work, too.
    I am making progress now.
