# Setting up About Page

 * I’d like to put an “About” section on the home page sidebar (below the slider
   image).
    How do I get the menu to link to the “About” section? I tried using #
   About as the section ID on the widget. For the menu I used a custom link with
   the url [https://jackiecraven.com/#About](https://jackiecraven.com/#About) This
   did not work.
 * How do I get the “Read more” button to work? On the “About” widget, I set the
   button to redirect to [https://jackiecraven.com/bio/](https://jackiecraven.com/bio/).
   Instead, it redirected to my home page.
 * I didn’t want to leave the site not working, so I’ve replaced the “About” widget
   with a simple html text widget for now. But I would like to know how to set up
   an About section with a working menu link and read more button.
 * I’m using Chrome on a Mac and an iPhone.

 * I’ve deleted the TG About widget, but am trying the same steps with the TG Featured
   Posts widget. The menu links still do not work.
 * Here are the steps I followed:
    1) Appearance > Menus in the WordPress menu 2)
   Clicked on Create a New Menu and named it “Menu” 3) In Menu Settings selected“
   Primary menu” and “automatically add new” 4) Added a “Custom Link” with this 
   URL: [https://jackiecraven.com/#inspirations](https://jackiecraven.com/#inspirations).
   Named the navigation label and title attribute “Inspirations” 5) Pressed Add 
   Menu and Save Menu 6) Appearance > Customize > Widgets. Added the TG Featured
   Post widget to the Front Page Sidebar. 7) Post ID section: #inspirations 8) Selected
   Color. Left Image blank. 9) Filled in Title, Description, and Number of Posts
   10) Selected “show posts from a category.” Selected the Category “Inspirations”
   11) Filled in Button text and button redirect link: [https://jackiecraven.com/category/inspirations/](https://jackiecraven.com/category/inspirations/)
   12) Clicked “Publish”
 * The blog posts display on the Front Page Sidebar correctly. But the “inspirations”
   link in the header does not work.
 * I’m using Chrome on a MAC with the newest version of the Himalayas theme.
