My blog disappeared from the menu on my website, and when I checked the Menu under Appearances it says Blog (Invalid). Clearly the link has gone wrong although I’ve done nothing to it. My question is how do I fix this?

Thanks

Patsy

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

Hi @patsyt,
You should find your Blog under the Pages box in left side of the Appearance -> Menus 👇

If you find that, select it and ‘Add to Menu’ again and save the menu.

Thanks

In the end I solved this problem myself, very simply. For anyone else with the same issue: I simply added my most recent blog post to my main menu, changed the title from the title of the post to Blog, and Bob’s your uncle.
