    HI, please help!

    WHAT I GOT:
    *I have a path-based multisite setup (subfolder style).
    *Two ‘Sites’ Installed in my Network Admin:
    a) https://www.somesite.com
    This site has two ‘pages’:
    1. HOME 2. PORTFOLIO -> Dropdown subpage: RATIONALE
    b) https://www.somesite.com/me (set up in ‘blog’ style only, no site ‘pages’)

    WHAT I WANNA DO/QUESTION:
    *The RATIONALE subpage has no content, and I would like to directly link it with site b) https://www.somesite.com/me that has the blog.
    Can I do that?

    WHY I WANNA DO THAT [if you’re interested]
    I want to use a particular template all across my multisites, but the template’s creator says that it was not tested for multisites and he is not sure if it will work. I still wanna try.
    My plan: create multiple ‘Sites’ (blog style) and link them up to ‘Pages’ in original site https://www.somesite.com

    So, will my plan work? Also, please refer back to my original question above in section “WHAT I WANNA DO/QUESTION”

    Thank you for your time..

    Sounds like you just want to edit your menu.

    Hi Mika,

    Thank you for your reply. I took your suggestion and this is where I am at right now.

    WHAT I DID:
    *For my MAIN SITE #1
    1. Dashboard -> Pages -> this is where I created all the PAGES & SUBPAGES I needed. All of them showed up on my main site after I a general refesh. All the subpages have path-based urls as expected. So far so good.
    2. Then, in Dashboard -> Appearance -> Menus -> this is where I made use of the “Main Menu” and “Pages” options. First, I created one “Main Menu”, then I added all the pages previously created to this “Main Menu” by selecting all the pages in the ‘Pages section’ and clicking “Add to Menu”. I refreshed my main site and nothing changed as expected. So far so good.

    WHAT I THINK I SHOULD DO NOW/QUESTION:
    1. Create additional ‘SITES’ via the same template used in my main site [Please note that I am trying to maintain the same template for all the ‘Pages’].
    2. Somehow redirect each ‘PAGE’ and ‘SUBPAGE’ at my main site
    to all these additional ‘Sites’ I create. Is that correct? If so, how do i do that? Do I utilize the ‘Custom Links’ option in the main site’s Dashboard Menu?

    Thank you so much for your help thus far. Please let me know what you think I should do next.

    It would be a lot easier for us if you would not use all caps ?? We have bold and italics here ?? Then you could use actual spacing between things.

    1. Create additional ‘SITES’ via the same template used in my main site [Please note that I am trying to maintain the same template for all the ‘Pages’].

    You’re making it very confusing when you say sites and pages like this.

    A site has pages. That’s it.

    If you want links on your menu on a site to point to another site, you make a link. That’s all. No more no less.
