Trouble with Menu- Sketch Theme
-
Hi I am using the Sketch theme and I am trying to change the menu from just the “menu” button to having a proper navigation bar. I tried changing my window size to 1290px but it still has not changed.
Please help

The detailed theme description page with setup instructions is found here https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sketch/
All support docs are at http://support.wordpress.com
See here https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ -
I’ve tried the first link and it wasn’t all that detailed. I’ve also tried the second link and it didn’t help either… any other suggestions?

There are many misunderstandings and misconceptions when it comes to custom menus. I suggest you read these two posts I link to below.

http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/custom-menus/Technically you can’t post to more than one page on any blog but do read on. Static Pages and dynamic Category Pages are not the same. The former cannot automatically update but the latter do.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/If you want to have pages that do update then they must be dynamic category pages (and sub-category pages) that will automatically update every time you publish a post assigned to the relevant category and/or sub-category.
By default the front page of the blog is the post that displays all posts in your blog. Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.
We organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories and sub-categories pages into the custom menu, and order them as you wish.
First you add categories to Posts.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/And you add the dynamic category pages into it
