  I am using the theme “Twenty eleven” which has a custom menu. Apart from “Home” and “About” I created two more tabs named Fashion, Blogging and added the categories Shoes (under Fashion) and My Thoughts (under Blogging). Unfortunately, I am not seeing my new menu; only “Home” and “About” are visible. If I check the custom menu, I am seeing what I created and the categories under the correct headings. Why isn’t the other two tabs visible on my menu? Here is the link:

  Home

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

  Go to Appearance > Menus and make sure the menu you have created is selected in the Theme Locations pulldown.

  I tried that. Whenever I select the menu I created, only one shows and the Home and About disappears. What shall I do to get all the menus to appear?

  THere is only one menu with multiple “items” in the menu.
  Troubleshooting – My Pages aren’t appearing
  They must be public pages – not private.
  Public – The page will be visible to everyone.
  Protected – The page is protected with a password you set. Only people who have the password can view a protected page.
  Private – Pages are only visible to blog Editors and Administrators. Private pages are not visible in Blog Surfer, feeds, or in any search. A page can be private without being password protected.

  As timethief points out (first line of her reply), you’re confusing menus with menu items. See here for more:

  Go back to your custom menu page and be sure to add the “missing” pages to the menu and “save” the menu. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-pages-to-your-menu

  Thistimethisspace, I deleted all the menus to start over again. I created the menu item Fashion and inserted the category Shoes and the post Long Live the Heels. After saving everything, this is what I am seeing:

  Home

  Where is the Home, About and Fashion menu items?

  I read the link and I am still not getting the desired results. Is there someone from Staff WordPress I can email?

  What are your desired results? Your theme supports 1 menu. In that custom menu you must include all of the items you wish to include.
