 * Hi all.
    My main navigation menu was broken. When I went in to fix it, I had 
   issues so I started from scratch. That is when I realized something was wrong.
   When I click Pages or Posts from the AD MENU column, it shows up as “Menu Item”
   in the MENU STRUCTURE column as opposed to the name of the Page or Post I attempted
   to add. When I expand that box, the custom link option is missing. When I save
   the menu anyway, it displays as “Menu Item” on the live site.

 * Any help is appreciated.

 * By default, Menu Screen enables user to create a custom menu (also known as navigation
   menu, or main menu). Depending on the theme used, typically a site will have 
   one navigation menu, while some themes may enable secondary or footer menus. 
   These issues related with theme library functions & action hooks.
 * Please de-activate the current theme and test the menu features with primary 
   default WordPress theme like ( TwentyTwenty ). It will helps you to find the 
   root causes and fix menu issues.

 * Your currently used `Starkers` theme could not be found in the wordpress.org/
   themes/ directory, as far as I can see.
 * If you use a commercial theme or plugin and need support, please go to their 
   official support channel. In order to be good stewards of the WordPress community,
   and encourage innovation and progress, we feel it’s important to direct people
   to those official locations.

 * Forum volunteers are also not given access to commercial products, so they would
   not know why your commercial theme or plugin is not working properly. This is
   one other reason why volunteers forward you to the commercial product’s vendors.
   The vendors are responsible for supporting their commercial product.
