can't see the menu item in the dashboard

  • I have the following code in home.php that produces the following outcome: https://triplebit.com/wp3.5.1
    Problem is that menu items like About, Contact Us do exist in reality but I can’t see the menu item in the dashboard.
    More info:
    1. using other themes I do see it.
    2. I installed and activated Link Manager

    Can someone help please?
    Regards
    Triplebit

  • 1. using other themes I do see it.

    Looks like it’s specific to your current theme. Where did you download it from?

    Also try to update WordPress as soon as possible – you are running a very old version.

    Thanks Krishna
    Actually its pasted from the book “WordPress Theme Design” by Tessa Silver.
    Regarding your saying that its specific to the theme – this is sure but maybe you or some other gentleman could pinpoint the exact problem in the code, since the above code is the only one that is responsible for that.
    Thanks in advance

    Try changing permalinks from default (your current setting) to custom – /%postname%/, save settings and then look at pages if you can see them.

    Thanks again Krishna
    I can see pages when click on the menu items but problem still exists – the menu item in the dashboard is still missing.

    Temporarily change the theme to a WordPress default theme and see if you can see the menu item in the dashboard.
