 * I added a page to a Word Press site and it does not show up in the navigation
   bar at the top of the theme. I have looked through similar forum topics but could
   not find a similar resolution that I could understand.
 * Your help would be appreciated
 * Thank you

 * To help, we’ll need a link to your site and / or the bit of code in your header.
   php theme file that looks something like `wp_list_pages('title_li=&sort_column
   =page_order');`.

 * Thanks for your response.
 * Here I believe this is it? (cam after the <body> tag:
 * <?php wp_list_pages(‘sort_column=id&depth=1&title_li=’); ?>

 * That’s the right bit of code.
 * One possibility: that code will generate a Page list that only includes top-level
   Pages. Did you assign the new Page a parent?

 * I assigned that particular page’s parent as the Main Page (no parent). Does it
   matter whether the Main Page is a post or page?
 * Thanks very kindly for your assistance and patience.

 * Yes, that matters. The `wp_list_pages()’ function lists Pages; it won’t show 
   Posts.

 * The main “page” is a post but the page that does not show up on navigation is
   a page. So it should show up on the navigation, right? Again thank you.
