 * OK I am totally new this. So keep it simple in your replies. What I am trying
   to do is when someone clicks on a page I have created it takes them direct to
   a different URL. How do I do this, when I go into Appearances, Menu my home page
   has custom written on the top right and has an option to put in a URL my other
   pages just say Page with no option to put a URL in. Can someone help please this
   is driving me mad?

 * I’m not quite sure I understand your question completely, but as I understand
   it, you’ve created pages and you want to change the link and/or page title?
 * If so, you can update both in the page admin:
 * Page->All Pages
 * and then click “Edit” for whichever page you want to update.
 * You can set the title there. By default, WordPress will use the title of the 
   page as the permalink/URL (if you are using permalinks). You can edit that actual
   permalink there as well so it can be different from your page title.
 * Right below the title edit text box, should should see the current permalink 
   and two buttons to the right of that to edit or view the page:
 * Permalink: [http://www.example.com/somepage/](http://www.example.com/somepage/) ‎
   Edit View Page
 * If you haven’t set permalinks or it’s not clear to you, go to:
 * Settings->Permalinks
 * I generally use “Post Name” instead of “Default,” but there are other choices.

 * If you’re using 3.6 there will be a section (on the left of the apperance>menu
   page) called links – just put a custom link in one of those and add it to the
   menu.

 * Thanks both, Lee I have 3.6.1 I have tried this but I must be doing something
   wrong. I have 6 pages and I want to send each page when a client clicks on it
   straight to a different URL. When I look at my dash board on menu My home page
   has custom on it allowing for changes but my additional pages do not they just
   say page.

 * In Appearance > menu you can add and remove pages to the menu, just remove the
   ones that are there and add the new ‘Links’ to the menu.
 * Have a look at this (Links used to be called Custom Links)
