Publishing a new Page results in it showing multiple times on Nav Bar
-
Hi,
I am new to WP, picking up admin of our website from previous people. While I think I understand the basics of the structure and management of posts and pages, I am not very good in understanding how to control the Theme and it’s associated php files.That said…
I am admin for the following site:
https://www.RBSTheatreCompany.co.uk
WP uses a theme called “smoothgroove”.
I am trying to add a new page which will show on the Nav bar on the left. I have written the page, but when I published it it resulted in the page showing multiple times on the Nav Bar.
The theme does not “natively” supporting the Menu so I enabled it using Appearance – Menus. But whatever changes I have done there it seems that the categories/pages are managed via one of the Theme’s templates, which I dread touching.I am not sure to control the Nav Bar entries. Here is what I find looking at these entries in the Nav Bar when I look them up in our dashboard:
1. About the Theatre Company – this is a page. It is not linked to any category, with (NO PARENT) and 0 order. So how does it make its way to the Nav Bar?
2. Meet the Committee – this page appears twice in the Page page – both entries hold the same permalink (id=18). They are not copies, but the same entry – just showing twice (if I make the page in one instance as Draft – it does the same in the other entry -= making me think that if I delete one the other would be deleted as well; so it seems like a WP bug). It is also without a parent, 0 order.
3. Past Productions – a category, not a page. This part seems to be controlled properly via the Categories & Posts option.
4. Upcoming Productions – a category, working fine.
5. Social Events – a category, working fine.
6. How to join – this is a page, and again, unclear how it makes its way to the Nav Bar.I tried to create a page “Tickets for our show” which I wanted to have at the bottom of the Nav Bar. When I published it it appeared multiple times in the Nav Bar, sometimes 3 times, sometimes 5 or 6 times. It was consistent for that session but if I played around with it and published again I think the number of times it appeared changed, but I am not sure on that.
So…
I need help in:
a. identifying how Nav Bar entries 1,2, and 5 made their way as Pages into the Nav Bar
b. should I worry about that double entry of Meet the Committee? Is that a WP bug?
c. How do I chnage the order of the Nav Bar entries not to be sorted alphabetically (as it seems at the moment; How to Join page is an exception to this – and again I do not know how this is controlled and why the latter is an exception)
d. Most importantly – how do I publish the Tickets for Our Shows page as an entry in the Nav without it showing multiple times?The Smoothgroove theme php sheets must have been adulterated. I see also a few widget php sheets under the template editor page. The entries there are:
