  I don’t have the option to select ‘parent pages’ on my site.
  Does my theme not allow that option?

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

  You definitely have that option.

  I am an admin to this page. I worked out that if the page wasn’t published you couldn’t choose a parent page. Now I’m having trouble linking the child pages I make to the menu. Can anyone help? So i have created a menu under “artists” and created the pages but they are not linking up. Any help greatly appreciated.

  And note that

  Not all themes display Page hierarchies by default in the navigation menu. If this is the case with the theme you are using, then you can use the Custom Menus feature to create sub-pages and to customize your navigation menus.

  The guides to build custom menus are in the links I gave you in my first response:

  Thanks galois.
  I have chosen the parent page as per suggestions. But in the ACTUAL published website, when you click on the pages, it is not working.
  I feel like I need to link those pages to the menu I created or something. . . I’ve done this before on other sites but this one is not working.

  Use the custom menus feature, from here:
