Why can't I get all of my pages in my website to work

  • first off, I am not wise in the least about word press and cannot even tell you how to find the version I am using. Second, I can only get my novels page and the static page to work. when I click on the tool bar on any of the pages, the only one that works is the novels page. My website is: jacquelinesusann.tateauthor.com

    I have been working on this for days, and am totally frustrated!

    Hey jacquelinesusann-

    I don’t know if this will help, but I noticed on some of your pages, the url ends in -2 or -3. This is the actual permalink that’s right under your title in wordpress admin. I find this happens if I’ve created multiple pages of the same name.

    For example, let’s say you create a page called “about the book” so the url is yourdomain.com/about-the-book, then you delete it to try again. When you create a new page called “about the book”, you may have deleted the previous page, but it might not really be gone, so the permalink is called about-the-book-2. You can check if these old pages (or posts) are still present by going to your main Pages or Posts screen. If you have any that are in the trash, delete them permanently.

    Then I would go back and change the permalink in the page from about-the-book-2 to about-the-book, and adjust the menu accordingly, etc.

    Not sure if that will help, but it’s helped me in the past.
