Hi, @bossmomma88.

Until what I can see here it seems ok. Could you give a little more detail so we can figure out this together? What is showing up to you and what you expect to appear instead?

Hello,

Did you previously categorize or tag your recipe posts with anything in particular?
If so you can go to My Site> Themes> Customize> Menus> Primary> then ‘Add Item’ and have that link refer to either a Category or Tag.

Hope this help.

Best of luck.

Please go to both your recipe posts and Categorize them as Recipes and follow the instructions in the previous post.

Hope this helps.

Best of luck.

@bossmomma88. Just confirm you’ve already done all the following steps:

1. Your recipe posts are assigned to the “Food/Recipes” Category, in the post page.

2. You went to Customizer > Menus > Selected your main website menu > Clicked on “Add items” > Opened “Categories” and selected the category “Food/Recipes” > Clicked “Save & Publish” to update you website.

If you’ve performed all these steps and still nothing showed up we may have to tag this thread so Staff can check your end and figure out what is missing.

Just let me know.

After clicking ‘My Site’ where do you go exactly to see your recipes?

Hope this helps.

Best of luck.

It seems like the link is now working, There is one recipe showing up.
Any problems with the second recipe?

Best of luck.

Great that you figured out @bossmomma88! Regarding the missing post, note that draft posts won’t show up until they’re published. This might be the case since you seemed to set up the page correctly. If you need anything else just let me know and I’ll be happy to give you a hand.
