Aah. Solved it! Surprisingly easy. If anyone has had the same problem, here is how to fix it:

In Dashboard (WP-Admin) select Menus from Appearance drop-down. A new page will open. On the left you will see Custom Links. I tried to drag this to the right-hand side, but it didn’t work. Then I discovered you need to put the “#” mark in URL text field and write the menu item in Label. In my case, this was Text. Then I could drag this to the right and it essentially creates a new menu called Text. I then drag my two sub-menu items (About and CV) to this new “Text” and delete the previous “Text”. You now have the option to select the arrow next to Text” and customise this link.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for your quick response,

I briefly looked at this earlier, but was confused as it did not mention moving locally to server.

I assume the section I should follow is entitled “Moving WordPress to a New Server”. If so, I am a little unsure about the three mentioned steps:

#1 “Download a copy of the main wordpress files…”
Does this mean I log-in to my Dashboard and then Export? As I have been working locally, I think all my files are in a directory on my hardrive. So, do I skip this step?

#2 “Go back to your OLD blog…”
I think this is straighforwrad through Dashboard.

#3 “Again, download your database (but keep the old one just in case), upload this new database and the copy of the wordpress core files with the edited wp-config.php to your new server. Thats it!

I assume wp-config.php updateds itself after I have completed “2

Just for clarification; “Database” is the sql file I export from PhpMYDomain and “main WordPress files” are everything in my directory on my local machine? Is this right? Finally, when I upload the new database and wordpress files, are they altogether, or does Databse reside somewhere else?

I appreciate your help and sorry for appearing a bit stupid. I am terrible with anything related to coding, even although these steps seem to bypass this dilema 🙂

Best,
Dave
