Nested menu items not linking to pages
-
Greetings Community,
I’ve been struggling with this for hours. I believe I’ve followed all the instructions for creating sub-menu items. The links are there, , but they don’t do anything: no finger, and no related page.
Please help!
Thanks,

Hello! No need to fret! Let’s take a step back and have a look at this. The link tags are there are in your menu for the Projects menu and all its sub items. However they do not currently link to anything.
However, your pages themselves seem to be setup just fine. For example –
http://communalroutes.wordpress.com/projects/ works great
as does http://communalroutes.wordpress.com/projects/north-america/
Are you creating your menu here by Adding Pages, as mentioned in this part of the Custom Menus guide?
If so, they should link to their category pages without a problem.
(If you are using Custom Links for this purpose, that’s not necessary, as Adding Pages is much easier to do.)

Thanks. I had already created the pages when I decided to nest the menu items, so I created custom menu items and linked them. Should I delete the Projects pages and just start over?

Is the sub-menu items is custom menu links? And do you already input the link refers to? I’ve checked your blog and I found :
<li id="menu-item-56" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-56">Scotland<li id="menu-item-56" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-56">ScotlandMy guess is… you already create sub-menu items correctly but you do not input the links/URL refers to when creating custom menu links. If you sure you do correctly, It maybe theme problem.

Actually, it doesn’t matter if you’ve already created the pages. All the pages you have on your blog should show up as options when you try and create menus from them –
Creating a menu item from a page does not recreate that page on your blog. So for example, if you add a sub menu item for North America to your menu, it will not create a duplicate page called North America.
A little confusing I know, but hope it makes some sense now? Do ask if you have more questions though. Always happy to help! :)
