Home and Menu pages won’t connect

The links in your menu are Pages, these won’t show your Posts unless you’re using a Custom Page Template to do so.

You can link to a Category archive in your menu by adding a menu item via the Categories selection instead of Pages.

Create Custom Menus in WordPress

Hope this helps.

I am sorry I did not understand what you said. Pretend you are teaching a child (course I think they know more than I )

You wish to display Posts when you click on a menu link correct?

Currently, your menu only contains Pages.

To display posts when someone clicks a menu link you need to link them to a Category archive, which contains the Posts that have been assigned to that particular category.

So via the Appearance > Menus admin menu, instead of dragging a Page into your menu, drag a Category instead, I’ve highlighted where these categories are located here.

Hope this helps.

How on earth do I get my posts on home page to show on my pages or menu across top of blog ??

If I am understanding you correctly you want a one of your post to be on the menu (navigation bar) correct? If that is the case go to your WordPress dashboard hover over appearance and then click on menus Then click on custom links on that page add the link in that custom links section, then finally add something to link lext (this is what will show on your navigation menu) and click on add to menu. Make sure you save the menu afterwards. I hope this helps

These are Pages, in your Dashboard click the Pages menu and you will see them listed.

Click on Posts > Categories and you will see your categories being listed.

Each of your Posts will be assigned to at least 1 category, so if you link to a category in your menu it will display the posts that have been assigned to it.

Via the Appearance > Menus admin menu, instead of dragging a Page into your menu, drag a Category instead, I’ve highlighted where these categories are located here.

What I am trying to do is when I make a new post I want it to show up under navigation bar menu.

I have a post about cucumber salad can I get it to show up under the Navigation bar Menu called Recipes??

I think the best solution in that case for you would be what themesumo just replied to you above.

Okay in that case, add a Category (Recipes) to your menu as I explained above, then do the same but from the Posts menu section instead, select the post you wish to add to your menu and drag it over – position it so that it is a sub-menu of the Recipes menu you have just added.

Don’t forget to save your menu too!

Ok Will try Thanks Have to do it later though Got appointments to keep

Tried Oh my Perhaps I am lost cause.
Sticking with Cucumber Salad.

I’ve highlighted where these categories are located here.

Found them
Placed Cucumber Salad under Menu heading Recipes.
Clicked save and publish.
When I refresh home page and go Cucumber Salad, click read more button It goes to here Not to the recipe page??

What am I missing? Rereading all of this again.

I am assuming that my pages and my categories shouold be named differently??

Are you adding the Cucumber Salad to the Recipes menu as shown above, it should be a sub-menu item as it is within an existing menu item (recipes)?

From what you’ve posted you don’t have the sub-menu item in place so it’s never going to show in a menu.

Try searching for a video as that may clearly show you how to add menu items.

You should also ensure that you have selected a theme location for the menu you’re modifying, this is located below the menu under the Menu Settings heading.

If you have added the sub-menu item and are certain you have it correct, then try again with the default TwentySixteen theme as the active theme as there may be an issue with your theme.

Hope this helps.
