I've lost the menus and can't get them back
-
Newbie here. I am using Hemingway Rewritten theme and there is a black strip with the menus on it. I was going along nicely with a menu and submenus (mother/daughter etc) and then somehow lost the menu on the home page. All my pages are written and I can see them on the dashboard but not the links to them on the home page. Please can someone tell this newbie what to do next?? With thanks

It sounds like you are viewing your menu in Appearance => Menus, correct? If so, you may want to try looking in Appearance => Customize (or at the top bar next to the Globe, if your page is open, scroll and select Customize). At the blue menu bar to the right, click on Menus and make sure your Primary Menu is selected as your named menu in Appearance. Hope that helps?
Cheers,

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.

Note that you can enable this on your custom menu settings at the bottom of the page:
Menu Settings
Auto add pages

Custom Menu Troubleshooting – My menu isn’t appearing
Go to the custom menu page in the dashboard Appearance > Menus and in the “theme location” module at upper left select your custom menu there. -
Thanks to both Patti and Timetheif!
Timetheif – are you saying that the blog has to be public for any of this to work?? I have my menu visible but still can’t connect the pages to the menu items. Grrr!
