    Hello all, ok so this is my dilemma, hope someone can help.

    the thing im trying to do is, im trying to add a menu link via the WordPress 3.3.1 "menu" area in the admin panel and link it to one of my pages. The problem is that, no matter how i put the link. it never connects...i always get an error or missing page.

    im running this WP build on a WAMP server.

    whats happening is, im building a site for a documentary film dropping soon and so the homepage has the usual nav/trailer mid section/credit block and copyright info structure.

    i dont want any "posts" on the home page so what i wanted to do was, link a "latest news" link on the main nav that would jump to a custom page.
    that page, (lets call it trailers) would have all the posts.

    ive tried a regular local link like so:
    trailers.php (no good)

    ive tried the long way like so:
    wp-content/themes/themename/trailers.php (no good)

    ive then tried it like if it was a remmote link like so:
    127.0.0.1/wordpress/wp-content/themes/namehere/trailers.php
    (and STILL no good)

    what am i doing wrong? im almost positive that its my path to it because the fiile does exist. its named and targetted corectly..i dont know.

    thanks in advanced.
