Creating Main Menu Links with Connections theme

  • I just installed WP and selected the Connections theme.
    How do I create the pages for the main menu (About, Contact etc.)?

    This is probably super easy, but after looking through the admin panel, the codex and searching this forum I can’t find any mention of it. I’m totally new to WP… don’t know much about PHP… but am eager to learn…and any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • There is an online WP Manual, the Codex. It’s a good start:

    Sometimes I’m a little slow on the uptake. I looked at my header.php file and for the link to my “About” page from the main menu I found the following:
    a href="#" id="navAbout" title="About the Author" accesskey="a">About

    I can’t find anything in the site admin panel or the Creat Pages section of the Codex that helps me understand how to create the page and establish the link. This is probably so basic that I’m just making it harder than it needs to be, but I’m stumped.

    Did you create the About Page? If yes, just put its path instead of “#” in the anchor tag [a href…].
    If you don’t use the “nice” permalinks, it will be something line page_id=XX” or, if using permalinks, “the-title-of-your-page”.

    I’m not having much success. I initially tried creating a new page titled “about.” It shows up under categories, but it won’t display. So then I created permalink structure like the example in the Codex and created an about roger post. That resulted in a permalink:
    https://rogermarrs.com/2005/09/12/about-roger/
    but I get a page not found error. I can get that link in my header.php for the about link on the main menu, but it doesn’t help if the page won’t display. I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong.
