  I am a digital novice on a Digital Marketing Course and am having technical issues.I have added two additional pages to my website and published them. Neither page is appearing in the navigation bar.
  I don’t know what I am doing wrong – please guide me through the process to get the pages to appear on the navigation bar.
  I have 5 pages in all :
  Home (Static page)
  About Us
  Contact Us
  Blog (Posts page) – not appearing in the bar
  Menu – not appearing
  Much appreciated

  All support docs are at https://support.wordpress.com/
  Type static front page into the search box and click https://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=static+front+page
  Results Set a Static “Home” Page (Front Page)
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  This is a one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
  (1) All posts on the front page.
  (2) A static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page.

  By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors, who come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.

  However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts. Create your Blogs page first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

  After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  If you want all static pages to automatically appear in your custom menu go to http://janetleamy.wordpress.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php
  Enable:
  Menu Settings on the bottom right-hand corner of the page

  Auto add pages
  __ Automatically add new top-level pages to this menu

  Then click the save menu link.
