Custom menu not saving changes

    Hi there,

    I’m creating a menu using four pages which already exist on the site. I select them, click “add to menu,” arrange them in the order I want, but when I hit “save menu” one of two things happens:

    1. The label for the last menu item changes from “page” to “custom” and it shows up on the site but doesn’t function as a link

    2. The last menu item disappears from the list altogether and doesn’t show up on the site

    This has occurred within two separate themes I have used (which both support menus). Right now I’m experiencing problem #1. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!

  • Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    Thanks, I just tried deactivating all plugins, but the problem persists. I’m currently using the Twenty Eleven theme too.

    Anything else I can try?

    Have you modified the theme in any way?

    Not yet – I had with the previous one, but so far this one has just been moving the widgets around, adding a header, etc. without going into the editor.

    You don’t seem to have a page called “Contact”.

    The page is actually “publicmediainteractive.org/contact-us” because I deleted the original contact page and don’t know how to reclaim the permalink for a new contact page.

    Maybe that is part of the issue?

    Although, the problem tends to occur with whichever menu item is last in the list. I just rearranged it so now “Resources” is the one not working.

    The theme you are using appears to be a modified version of Twenty Eleven – which raises the possibility that you have introduced an issue into the theme.

    Thanks for your help. There are a few of us who have worked on this so it is possible some changes were made.

    For now I’ve figured out a workaround to get results I’m ok with. Instead of creating a custom menu I’ve left the menu dropdown on the default option so it just displays all the top level pages. It adds a “home” link, which is fine.

    Because I didn’t want the drop down menus to display sub-pages on the site, I added the bold below in the css:

    #access ul ul a {
    display: none;
    …
    }
