• I think I got ahead of myself and did quite a few posts but some of those posts should be children of the main menu item.
    Example: Media (main) and drop down covers Organizations, Journalists, and Radio. Hovering over Media should show all the children and clickable to get to that child.
    I may add to each drop down so will need to know how to add also.

    I am 75 years old and new to Word Press.
    Is there anyone who can help me straighten out this situation.

  • Here is a video that will explain how to do this.

    Tell me if this is what you need.

    I understand the video except I only have one page on my site and the rest are posts. Must I convert the posts to pages and will I lose any of the content of those posts by doing that?
    Very helpful so far need just a little more if you can.
    Thanks.

    Do you see where the categories are on the menu page? Add Categories of your posts to the menu page. Just like in the video.

    Hi NikV
    Got it to work however when visiting the site and clicking on one of the items in the drop down I get an error page “not found” but can on that page use the search bar and it takes me to the correct page.
    See State links – click on Wyoming.
    Thanks again.

    The Washington state drop down seems to work. Is that a page or a category?

    Thread Starter archangel1957

    Category. All states and drop downs from the Media Menue are categories (Posts)
    I also noticed that Washington was working OK and wondered if it just takes time after updateing.

    Try resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting via Settings -> Permalinks. If this works, then review Using_Permalinks before setting a custom permalink structure back up again.

    Think I have it straightened out but we shall see as I enter more states.
    The one step I missed was when quick editing I didn’t click on the state and the parent and then update/save
    Just put in West virginia (that’s where I attended an Equestrian College) and works fine. All woeking

    Thanks again for your help. I am keeping the link so if I may need additional tutoring I’ll give you a toot.

    Will you please stop adding your site’s url as a .sig to all of your posts? That is not allowed here.

    Glad to help out.

    Good luck with the rest of the site. Remember to refer back to the video if your forget something about the drop down menus.
