Thank you very much!

We found an acceptable substitute for this.

Okay, I have disabled all plugins. I have deleted the social menu leaving only the “Top Menu”. The “Top Menu” has “Home” and my three “Custom Link” entries on it, “Thing One”, “Thing 2”, and “Thing 3”, which is all I want.

I have created four pages, “Page 1”, “Page 2”, “Page 3”, and “Page 4”.

The checkbox for “Automatically add new top-level pages to this menu” is not checked.

So far, so good?

However, on each page, when I try to set the “Parent” parameter, the choices are only “Home”, and the names of the other three pages. There is no choice for “Thing 1”, etc.

What did I miss?

The basic difficulty is that blogging is not needed or wanted. What is needed is more of a book format with section headings on the front page: “Health”, “Fitness”, “Games”, etc.

When a heading is clicked, a list of pages (preferably with an abbreviated blurb) will come up, which when clicked on will display the page. At the moment, when I create a page, it creates a new heading at the top of the displayed screen.

WordPress seems like a nice way to go if I could just get it to do that. Nothing fancy.
