 * 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.

 * 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. Mike _[sig moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome)]_

 * 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. Mike _[sig moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome)]_

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

 * 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. Mike _[sig moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome)]_

 * Try resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting via Settings-
   > Permalinks. If this works, then review [Using_Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/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.
