 * 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.

 * I finally managed to do it. The following link, with step-by-step video guide
   was very helpful:

 * 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
