  I have added pages to my website, however they do not show up on my website. They have worked before and all the sudden they are not working.

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

  There are no pages listed under the primary ‘who is the style boss’ menu.
  You can manage and add items to your Custom Menu items at https://thestyleboss.wordpress.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php

  You can learn more about custom menu at http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus

  Thanks for responding. I am just very confused because prior to this problem made ‘pages’ under the pages tab, “contact”, “about” and “portfolio.” These pages appeared at the top under by banner and all the sudden disappeared. These weren’t menus or anything like that. Have any insight for this?

  I want it to look like this(the light blue pages at the top separated by slashes)

  Oxygen

  Please let me know if you can help further!

  The reason why the pages are not working is because there’s no ‘Posts Page’ selected at https://thestyleboss.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php

  You can create a new page (eg under the name: Blog) and assign it as a ‘Posts page’ or use one of your existing pages.

  When I selected a page for this it still didn’t work. Is there a specific page that I should create that will link all pages properly. Do you mind giving me step by step? I am very new to this.

  I see that you’ve set the pages as a ‘Showcase page’ template. For example this page: https://thestyleboss.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=71&action=edit you see that ‘showcase page’ is selected from the dropdown menu on your right hand side. You can change this to ‘Default’ or ‘Full Width’ for your page to appear, otherwise follow the steps below:

  Showcase page template

  When you first activate Oxygen, you’ll see your posts in a traditional blog format but if you’d like to showcase your content in an online magazine-like fashion, then you can use the Showcase Page template.

  The Showcase Page template offers a featured slider for up to six Sticky Posts. To use the template, create or edit a page, and assign it to the Showcase Page template from the Page Attributes module. If you’d like use the Showcase Page template on your front page, go to Settings → Reading and set the Front page option to Static Page. Select the page you just assigned the Showcase Page template to as your front page and then choose another page to serve as your blog page.
