Hi,
1. when I added the rss widget to my site it says the feed is down? Is there a way to contact the rss widget provider? And also is it possible to add more than 1 url to the rss widget?
2. I want to create a portfolio but I want it to be a separate menu from the pages menu? I followed the steps for creating it but I’m still stuck
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi @koolbeanz247, can you send a link to the RSS you’re trying to add? Maybe we can help.
Regarding the menu, what link would you like to display and where?
-
The link to the rss I wanna use is http://rss.cnn.com/rss/edition.rss
But I can I add more than 1 url for the rss widget or no?
For the menu what do you mean what link and where? I want to create a portfolio but as a separate menu from the pages menu? I tried following the steps to create it but I’m still stuck

You can add a separate feed in another RSS widget.
About the menu, try publishing you portfolio work first so you have something to link to. Then if these steps don’t help, let us know which step you’re getting stuck on (and what’s happening vs what you expect) and we’ll go from there:

And also when I go to widgets there’s a custom menu widget to display in sidebar? But when I add it I don’t see it show up in my sidebar?

And lastly I’ve followed the steps for creating a custom Menu for my portfolio but I’m still stuck?

Hi there,
how do I add a separate feed in another rss widget?
You can add one more RSS widget and enter another URL there. This will get you a separate RSS feed. Just the way you set up your first RSS widget.
Read the document linked below:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/rss-widget/what’s the difference between rss and rss links
RSS Widget displays RSS feed about the link you have pasted. RSS Links Widget adds links about your blog posts or comments so that viewers will be updated with your blog content.
The page linked below should help to understand this in detail, but let me know if you have any questions
https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/rss-links-widget/And also when I go to widgets there’s a custom menu widget to display in sidebar? But when I add it I don’t see it show up in my sidebar?
Can you please verify if you have followed the procedure of creating custom menu. https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#creating-a-custom-menu
You need to have at least one menu before it shows up in Custom Menu widget.how do I delete my old blog site
Switch to your old site and then delete the site by following this document https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
Note:
Once you delete your site you can’t have the same domain name. Read document link below before doing so.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/
You can instead empty your site
https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/And lastly I’ve followed the steps for creating a custom Menu for my portfolio but I’m still stuck?
You mentioned you’ve ‘followed the steps’. Could you please tell us which steps you’re referring to? Are you referring to a support document? If yes, could you please share a link to it?
Also, let us know on which step you’re stuck and we’ll guide you from there. -

Hi I followed the steps you gave me for creating a portfolio by using custom Menu. It did work but the portfolio Menu is showing up in my sidebar at the bottom of my page instead of on the pages menu. I want the portfolio to still show on the Pages menu but separately. I don’t know if it’s because of the theme that I have but it’s the theme I like and I don’t really wanna change it

And also is there a way to edit pages on WordPress.com using a phone or tablet? Majority of the time when I try to edit pages on my tablet or phone it doesn’t work or freezes allowing me not to edit at all
