Adding pages/items to a menu

    Hi everyone ??

    I’m new to WordPress and PHP, but I’ve been around the block as far as HTML and CSS. I am trying to add a page/menu item to my client’s theme: Betround. I can see in the Appearance section of the template where the Menu editor is, and I have added a couple of pages, but they don’t show up in my hosted page. I am presuming that I need to copy the code that was updated in my template over to my directory on my hosting service, but once I’ve made the changes to the template – I don’t know where they are made in the code. Can someone please walk me through this? Any help/info would be VERY appreciated!

    TIA,

    Coleen

  • You have to add your pages through the WP Pages/Add New interface.

    Yes esmi I know that – and I have done so, but they are NOT showing up! That’s the whole problem. I have added two pages using the wordpress/wp-admin/nav-menus.php page – but the pages do not show up in my hosted web page. Where do I find the code that has been changed so that I can copy it up to my hosting service? Or, better yet, how do I add them manually, and to which .php page do I add them? Any serious help with examples would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you,

    Does your theme support custom menus? If it does, is the custom menu selected to display on 1 or more of the menu locations on the site? The best you’re going to get in this situation is a link to the files/pages. They will not be incorporated into the site’s current theme or make use of any of its headers/nav menus or footers.

    How exactly are you adding these links to the custom menu?

    I figured it out – sorry. It’s a simple matter of actually publishing the pages! I made all my changes, but didn’t make them public (I presumed the code would be in my template and I could copy and past it into my Visual Studio editor and then publish it all at once after I had made all the changes to my pages.)

    The problem is that I am new to templates – I NEVER use them! So my apologies – it works the moment I publish it (d’oh!) Thanks! Still I am not sure I like templates though – I don’t know where to go to look for code – it gets put in weird places – not where I expect to find it!

    Thanks again.
