  http://jlmbt.wordpress.com (test site). I cannot seem to find a way to enable nested menus in a supported theme (Zoren); even when trying out the customs design option. The WordPress.com help (http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/) suggests it can be done through the WordPress dashboard but I cannot seem to find a way to enable the dashboard either. I normally use a self-hosted WordPress.org site but I am currently attempting to use WordPress.com for a friend who will really need nested (drop down) menus. Any help really appreciated.

  This is the link to the main dashboard screen:
  https://jlmbt.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
  You could bookmark it and add it to the bookmarks bar of your browser.

  As for dropdowns,
  a) Like most themes, Zoren automatically displays dropdowns to child pages.

  b) You can also create dropdowns manually if you use a custom menu.

  Hmmm. I am doing something wrong then. Your main dashboard link of https://jlmbt.wordpress.com/wp-admin/ takes me to: http://wordpress.com/#!/my-blogs/56587131/posts.

  Fixed. WP support did something to my account and I can now see the dashboard. Not sure what they did but I also got nested menus working. Thank you JUSTPL for your prompt assistance.

  By the way, support were brilliant. I used their chat service. They were very helpful and they resolved this issue quickly and without fuss. Most impressive.
