  So I created about 4 important pages that I wanted to be added to my navigation menu in my header such as contact us, sponsors, about us, membership, etc. I cannot for the life of me get the ACTUAL PAGES I created in pages to pull up in navigation. This is not making any since to me and it is making every navigation page I click the same. So when I click about us the contact us info shows up on all the other navigation pages. Someone please help me figure out how to do a correct navigation list with my pages I created in there

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there,

  From what I can see you may have edited your page template without realizing it’s purpose. To explain, it can often be the case that a Page Template is used as the starting point (the empty template if you will) for many pages on your site. It contains the header, footer, background, and basically everything but the content in the middle. Instead it’s set up to pull in content from the various pages of your site (About, Contact Us, etc.) as expected.

  In this case it looks like you may have edited the template to add info regarding your sponsors, and this has broken the connection this template has to your other pages. Essentially it is no longer able to pull in content from your About page, or your Contact Us page.

  You can see the edited template here, and you will recognize this is the content you are seeing on all your other pages: Page Template (edited)

  The good news is that I think this will be easy to reverse. To do that you can go to the template list and reset the Page Template: https://gimmegc.wordpress.com/wp-admin/site-editor.php?path=%2Fwp_template%2Fall

  You can see where the option is found here:

  

  Note that resetting the template may remove customizations you have made to the header and footer (if any) but is the fastest way to restore the components that allow the template to correctly connect to the pages you list here: https://wordpress.com/pages/

  If you reset the Pages template do you see content on your About and Contact Us?

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
