 * I want a link to another site to show in the menu.
 * As there are no menu’s showing under the WordPress Dashboards “Appearance, Menu”
   selector, I’m wondering how I can add an external link to the menu?
 * Your assistance would be appreciated.

 * Why mark this as resolved when wasn’t? What you said was not the case. The existing
   menu did not appear where you say it was as I stated above. What I saw was everything
   was greyed out in menus.
 * For anyone else who needs to know I resolved this by the following;
 * What I actually had to to was create a new menu, then add a link and check off
   the box for, Theme Locations: “Home Page Header Menu”
 * For more options on the link select the “Show advanced menu properties” drop-
   down from the top right of the screen next to the help tab.

 * Now If I could figure out how to reorder that menu/link I just added to the the
   menu that would be great! The only thing I see under the “Menu Structure” is 
   the link I just created.

 * You should be able to drag/drop to change the order and location of menu items.

 * Thanks, but I can’t drag and drop, sorry… The other tabs do not appear under 
   the menu structure?
 * I tried adding all the other menu items to the new menu reordering them, however
   all that did was duplicate them all except the new link I added…
 * This is a one page theme so all the menu items are like:
    http : // page/#home
   http : // page/#contact
 * etc…
 * I got the same duplication in the menu if I saved as;”Primary Menu” “Home Page
   Header Menu” or both.
