Published a page but can't find it on site

Under the pages section in your Admin area, locate the page you published. You can use the search field to find it by keyword(s). Click on the title of the page to bring up the page editor view and at the top of this view, you can find a button to “view” the page. Click it and you’ll be taken to the actual published page as it’s seen on your site, and by logical steps, figure out the URL to your page!

The other thing to consider is to look at your Appearance -> Menu settings and see if pages are being added correctly to your menu system. If not, you may need to manually add new pages to your menu and save the menu.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, bemdesign. That does make sense and it does take me to my published page, the problem is that while it says it’s nested in two other levels it doesn’t actually show up to link to the actual page. Does that make sense?

The page is there but unless I give someone the specific URL there is no way to get to it-or at least that is how it seems right now.

I inherited this site from someone else and it looks like the only menu we have is a Main Navigational Bar. I can add the page to that menu and it appears as a drop-down under the correct heading but it doesn’t add it as a link on the page it is nested under.

Oh…so you want this sub page to be directly linked to from the page above it as well as the main navigation? In that case you’ll need to go to that “parent” page and insert, somewhere, a link to that secondary page. Pages are just “more static” posts. That being said, they don’t “link” to other pages except through the menu navigation (pages don’t use categories or tags either so you can’t “link” them that way.) So you’ll just have to put a link in the parent page to link to your sub-page.

Yes, that’s right. Though it’s also nowhere in the main navigation as well, does that make any sense?

My other issue is that when I go to link something it disappears from the published page. So I just tried your suggestion-putting the link on the parent page-but when I went to view the page it doesn’t show the link at all. I’m doing it correctly, I believe:

But it doesn’t become a useable link. Am I missing something? I mean, I guess I must be ??

Thanks for all your help so far!!

Okay, so I posted the link in that last post and it turned the text below into link-like text but the link itself disappeared.

The link is: https://www.friendsne.org/projects/nicaragua/nino-feliz-school-for-special-needs-project/
If that’s any help…

In the page editor, did you select the text of the link and select the link button (looks like a chain linked together)? WordPress doesn’t automatically convert URLs to links. You’ll need to explicitly tell WordPress, “Hey – this text – it’s a link and it links to this content.”

I have been using the link button. Still no go.

Hi,

When adding links if you toggle into “text mode” in your post or page you should see links written similar to:

<a href="https://www.friendsne.org/how-nicaragua-changed-my-life/" title="How Nicaragua Changed My Life">How Nicaragua Changed My Life</a>

There is a support page on Links on WordPress.com and the steps will be similar to those for your self-hosted WordPress install.

https://en.support.wordpress.com/links/

PS – The above Links link could be written as:
WordPress and Links
The code for the above would be:
<a href="https://en.support.wordpress.com/links/">WordPress and Links</a>

Something similar is happends w/ me: When fetch my main page of the site (www.softwareantivirusetc.com ) through the Browser, it shows all 3 pages from the entire site. When enter the Dashboard to edit it, each page appears individually. Already check the HTML and there is no open tag, and it seems there is no other problem. Do you people have some suggestions? Appreciate. Carlos
P.S. Notice that in my other site in XAMPP the Dashboard>Menu option shows the main page twice. Replicate this “solution” to my site above and no good.
