  Why will my page not link to the menu at the top of my page?

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

  Please see https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

  They must be public pages – not private and not drafts.
  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 do not succeed then we need to know what the title of the missing and/or URL of the missing Page or sub-page is.

  I did create a menu and pages, but when I try to attach the page to the correct topic, it messes up the other ones.

  Please read this entry so you are clear on the differences

  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

  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.

  They are all public and not protected by a password.
