Main Menu Missing and and No Menu Items Available

[Robbie Morrison]

After installing, I immediately noticed my Main Menu is missing, just a line. I jumped ahead to the Menu tutorial and thought I might find relief but after naming a Primary Menu as suggested, I could not see menu selectors (Blog, Home, and Sample Page) to add to Primary Menu. It’s as though my template is devoid of this feature. I have all the Plug-ins installed, and I have deleted and re-installed.. still not working.

Also, my web hosting only allows me 3 web pages and HTML editing only, no CSS. Perhaps I’ll need to upgrade.

Please help 🙂

Hi Robbie,

Have you look at the 3 tabs of menu selector. MOST RECENT | VIEW ALL | SEARCH. Please have a look at all these 3 tabs. You will find the pages to add to primary menu. 🙂

Thanks.

That helps, thanks! However, I could not find Blog when I searched, only Home and Sample page are available,, same for view all, just two pages show 🙁

Hi Robbie,

That sounds unusual. So could u please check whether the blog page is there in pages.

Thanks.

[Robbie Morrison]

No, it’s not. Just Sample Page. Could it be that the version of WordPress installed from my service provider is lacking due to my 3 page limit?

[Robbie Morrison]

Please disregard my reference to my hosting service, those limitations apply to their Site Builder product and not 3rd party products such as WordPress

Attached are a few screen shots that illustrate my dilemma.

Hi Robbie,

Your blog page doesn’t exists. So you need to create it again. 🙂

Thanks.

The blog page seems to be same labelled as Home, at my http://robbiemorrison.ca/
I followed your tutorial, but sounds like you had actually had a “Blog” page that you selected to “Add to Menu”. This is confusing, surely a few extra steps from you and I’ll be back on track?? 🙂

Dear Robbie,

I think you want to setup different page for home page and blog page. If that’s the case this tutorial will help you exactly about it : http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-a-separate-page-for-blog-posts-in-wordpress/ and this tutorial has video too.

I hope that helps let us know if you’ve more questions.

Thanks Roshan, that was very helpful! I was a bit cautious at first as I didn’t want to create things and possibly lose the customization afforded by the Templates.

Now I’m on a roll 🙂

Robbie
