Adding New Pages

That new Page I created (Pictures), does show up in my Page section, along with another four that show on the Homepage of the Site, in my Dashboard! Lil confused as to how to do what you said? Sorry!

It seems as though, I’m missing just a minor piece of what I have to do, to get this done!! In the Pages section on my Dashboard, it does say I have five pages and only four are approved and so I’m thinking that it’s the Pictures page that has to be approved? Anyone please?

no, the “page” you think you created is actually a post called “Pictures”.

you can see this on the admin dashboard if you go to edit posts. you should see it there.

likewise, if you go to edit pages, you will not see it there.

so you need to create a page called “Pictures” and copy the code from your post to the new page.

The page will now show up on the nav bar and in the pages sidebar

This is unbelievable, Viceng! I just went to the Edit Posts page and it’s not there.

Like I said, it does appear under the Edit Pages section.

Is there another alternative that I can use?

hmm, just for grins, create a page and see if it shows up on the nav bar

Okay, just created a Page & it does show up in the Edit Pages section but not the Post page.

Where do I go in order to find the nav bar? Would that be on the Homepage?

This is what you call troubleshooting!!!

Thank you!

it would be generated by header.php…but i am at a loss as to what is going on here…..

Is there a way I can look into this header.php?

Does it have something to do with a code because I remember hearing that I might need that, when having a Page appear on the Nav bar?

Is this the same problem I am having?

I created a page called 09/10.
It appears in my page navigation bar at the top of my blog but when I click it I get a page not found error.
When I go to the wp backend edit pages function it appears along with all of my other pages as a published page.
I tried deleting it and starting from scratch, same thing.

I don’t think so, Tracy!

The new Pages that I create ONLY appear in my Pages Edit secion, on the backend of the Site and not on the Nav Bar at the top of my Homepage. It seems like, just the opposite.

Maybe you can help me and I’ll see if I can help with your issue?

Could it be possible that somewhere in your code you have a designated amount of pages that can be in the nav bar? I have seen this in some themes. In fact, I added it myself into one of the themes I used in the past (possibly The UnStandard theme) to make sure I never added a page by accident because it would break the design.

I never knew that but that can always be. How do I go about checking on that and what do I look for, as far as the possibilty of a limited number of pages that can be created? Thanks.

then it must show up in your nav bar. just create a new page, then copy all the codes of ‘pictures page’ in that section.

your nav bar is in the header section.

<ul id="nav">
<li ..

It would most likely be in your header.php or you might have another file like functions.php or something like that.

Important – You’d have to know php in order to do anything here.

If you understand php, then look for where your pages are listed in the code and see if you can figure it out. If you don’t – don’t do anything. You don’t want to mess up the php – you’ll break your site.

But, you can do a test. Try deleting one of the pages (saving the content in a text file so you can replace it later). If the new page shows up, then you know this is the issue. If it doesn’t, then it most likely isn’t.

Can you please showq me how I use this? <ul id=”nav”> <li ..

I put in https://dustinkeller81/header.php and it was an error page.

Please explain how I get to the header page and I’ll let you guys know what I see. Thanks
