I can create the pages. Their headers show up at the top of the home page, but when I click on them, nothing happens. I just remain on the home page. Why is that? I typed up content for each other page, but they don’t show up. * Thread Starter [deltina](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deltina/) * (@deltina) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-create-pages/#post-570595) * that is not the same problem i am having when i click on mine, they do show up but they do not show up in the manager are yours showing up there? * Thread Starter [deltina](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deltina/) * (@deltina) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-create-pages/#post-570597) * ok, i take that back none of the content is showing on them either which plugins are you using? * Thread Starter [deltina](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deltina/) * (@deltina) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-create-pages/#post-570616) * this has me rather concerned does no one have an answer? i am heading to the database now to see what may be up with that… * Thread Starter [deltina](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deltina/) * (@deltina) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-create-pages/#post-570644) * I solved one problem – the content now shows up on the pages (I am using more than one loop, so had to rewind before the pages would show properly) * but… * The pages still do not show up in the admin/manage panel.
