  Hi

  I really like the way Illustratr theme works on it’s demo and looked relatively simple but for some reason I can’t get my pages to show.
  I just want to have four pages which show up below the header and when you click them they take you to that page. One of these would be my Portfolio page.
  Also how do you then have each of the projects to show up when you hover over the Portfolio Page button?
  Any assistance or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Regards
  MK

  If you’d like to create a menu of your pages and portfolio like you see in the Illustratr demo, try setting up a custom menu following, our guide. For the portfolio page, add a custom link with https://meerkutsjournalist.wordpress.com/portfolio/ as the URL.

  Also how do you then have each of the projects to show up when you hover over the Portfolio Page button?

  I’m not sure sure what you’re envisioning here, but if you’ve seen an example of what you mean, could you provide a link? Thanks!

  @meerkuts,
  
  @kathrynwp,

  Also how do you then have each of the projects to show up when you hover over the Portfolio Page button?

  In order for projects to display as children of a portfolio in a custom menu, they must be added to the custom menu, and then nested below the selected portfolio.

  Ah, thank you very much musicdoc1 – I wasn’t getting the fact that MK was referring to a drop-down menu. Nice catch!

  MK – you can learn more about how to make drop-down menus here.

  You’re welcome. Of course, I’m not certain that is what was being referred. Bit of a guess. : )

  MK – let us know if you’re all set or if you still need help setting up Illustratr the way you have in mind. Thanks!

  Amazing, thank you both! It all makes sense now but just hadn’t found that video where it shows about the nesting, etc.
  Love the theme & looking forward to getting it all up there now

  Thank you
  MK
