Hello,
I am trying to post on my WP a new page, but I can’t find the way to make that accessible from one of my WP menus just like I used to do until a couple of weeks ago. In a few words, I’m not more able to make the page I created part of a drop-down menu and above all I can’t find the way to let people see that new page.
Could you please help me?
Best regards,

Angelo

How many menus support your theme? Not sure, I think it’s because your current theme, it may support single menu.

@infoesourcebd
Some bloggers think a single Page tab is the menu when, in fact, it is only one items in a menu. The menu is the whole bar.

@labenunipv
The theme you are using is quite unique and highly customizable compared to most I suggest you read http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/06/02/the-morning-after/

See:

There are many common errors, misunderstanding and misconceptions when creating custom menus and you can read about them here > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/custom-menus/

Troubleshooting – My Pages aren’t appearing
They must be public pages – not private – not drafts
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 Reader, feeds, or in any search. A page can be private without being password protected.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-visibility/

On the Menus page > Dashboard > Appearance > Menus note the Menu setting on bottom right hand corner of the page:

Menu Settings

Auto add pages
__ Automatically add new top-level pages to this menu

__Theme locations

If you do not succeed then we need to know what the title of the missing and/or URL of the missing Page or sub-page is.

re: changing the order of Pages, not Posts

There are two approaches.
1. If you have only pages in your horizontal menu and that’ is all you want in it see here to use numerical order. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/#order

2. If you have a custom menu see:
Creating a Custom Menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#creating-a-custom-menu
Adding Pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-pages
Changing the Order & Creating Sub-Menus http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus

Custom menu Troubleshooting – My pages are in the wrong order and/or my dropdown sub-pages pages aren’t appearing

Check the sub-pages themselves to see if you have established a Parent page and child page “hierarchical structure” in the page attributes module. Remove if required.

Also remove any “order” numbers you have assigned that may conflict with the order you are creating by dropping and dragging. Or simply change them so they are the same order as you establish in the menu. Establish consistency – problem solved.

Thank you all very much! That was astonishingly simple: I am still doing practice with WP, so I ask you sorry for the silly request.
