Why is my page not updating properly?

  • cheryle1 · Member ·

    Page not updating to site. Views as new page but when I got to the site it reverts to the old version of the page.

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

    My DreamWorks page will not show but looks great on the gallery and preview. Tried multiple times with no success.

    Hi there,

    It looks like you have two different pages titled “DreamWorks,” at these two links:

    http://cherylebannon.wordpress.com/home-3/learning-reflections/dreamworks/

    http://cherylebannon.wordpress.com/home-3/learning-reflections/dreamworks-2/

    It looks like the second link is the page you updated most recently, but the first link is the page that’s included in your site’s menu. If you edit the page at the first link, you’ll see those changes reflected on your site.

    You can also find both pages and edit them by going to Pages > All Pages in your site’s dashboard here:

    Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)

    Thanks for that, not sure why that happened but it is fixed.
    My other question is about my home menu at the top of the page. The site map drops below the straight line of menu items. Is there any way to fix this?

  • rachelmcr · Staff ·

    The site map menu ends up on a new line because the menu in the Portfolio theme is only designed to be a certain width. If you add more items to your menu than fit in that width, they will be pushed to the next line.

    One way to fix that is to adjust the theme’s design, to make the space for the menu wider. You can use custom CSS (part of your WordPress.com Premium plan) to do that.

    To add custom CSS, go to your My Blogs page and click the Customize link under the blog’s title. In the Customizer, open the CSS section and in the CSS editor there, you can enter the following CSS:

    @media screen and (min-width: 800px) {
header[role="banner"] .branding {
width: 30%;
}

nav[role="navigation"] {
width: 70%;
}
}

    The “banner” part of that code controls the space allowed for your site title and tagline, and the “navigation” part controls the space allowed for your menu. You can adjust those percentages until it looks right to you.

    If you have other CSS questions, most of our CSS support is done in the CSS Customization forum by expert staff and volunteers:

    Hi Rachel, I finally found the reply. I felt like the other person was telling me off. It just meant I was lost and on a steep learning curve so please pass on that feedback. I even checked my personal emails.
    I found it and have changed it. Sorry to be a pain but I am slowly adjusting to this new world. You are amazing. Thank you
