In reply to: How do you add a Title to your Latest News Entry?Hi, star_star_night, sounds frustrating. The title should show up automatically. Could you give us a link to your site so we can see what theme you’re using?

In reply to: Multiple Static Pages with Dynamic ContentHave you tried adding categories to your Custom Menu, in addition to Pages?
You could have a Recipes page, but also set up a Recipes category. They won’t conflict with each other. Apply that category to all your recipe posts. Then, in your Custom Menu, add a Category. There’s information on that here: Appearance Menus > Categories
The category menu item will show up in your header menu just like any other page link, but it will lead the viewer to a page that shows a stream of all the posts in the category ‘Recipe.’
Once you start doing that, I think you’ll find it will open up a lot of structural options for you.

In reply to: Adding lpages to the side bar?Oh, got it. You probably had the following setting clicked when you created your menu:
Automatically add new top-level pages
Check this box so that anytime a new top-level Page is created, that Page will automatically be added to the menuYou’ll need to go to your Dashboard > Appearance > Menus, select your menu, and unclick that option.
Then, to add a link to the sidebar, you can follow the instructions from my post above!

In reply to: How to add text in my Zion theme home pageAre you familiar with WordPress Widgets? (description here)
Without access to the theme files, it’s hard to say for sure, but it looks like your theme is set up with widget areas in the templates (in the code, the column areas are named ‘homepage-widgets’).
I assume that you’d be able to populate those columns (they’re probably invisible until you put something in them) by going to Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets and seeing what widget areas have been set up for you to use in that area. I’m sure that once you get the hang of it, you’ll find this much easier than editing html! Good luck, let us know if that solves your problem.

In reply to: Unable to log in using email or pwDoes the original site developer have an administrator log in that you could use to check on the state of your user accounts in the Dashboard?
If not, here’s a tutorial which outlines how you could go into your database to create a new Admin user, which would be your next step to getting in and checking out what’s up with your user accounts. You will also be able to see other user accounts while you’re there, so that will give you a clue as well.
To do this, however, you’ll need the site’s hosting admin or cpanel login info. And the database is not anything to mess around with! Make sure you back up your database before you make any changes.

In reply to: Pages redirecting when I change permalinkHA. You solved it while I was typing. Glad it’s worked out, thanks for the solution.

In reply to: Pages redirecting when I change permalinkFirst, I assume you hit ‘Update’ as well as ‘OK’ when you were changing it.
When you go back to the edit screen for that page, which url shows as the permalink? The correct one, or the outdated one?
Not sure, but here are two ideas to start:
1. Clear your cache, restart your browser, see if the problem persists. You could also check if it’s happening in another browser.
2. Go to Settings > Permalinks and change the settings, then change them back to see if that updates your links for you.

In reply to: Login ProblemHi khongming90, sorry to hear you’re having trouble. Please don’t post passwords on an open forum. I’ve tagged this thread so a moderator can come remove them.
When you log in, what do you see?

In reply to: How to add text in my Zion theme home pageIf there’s a simple answer, we might be able to see it if you give us your site’s url to check it out. Post it here and we’ll see what we can offer!
However, if it’s more involved than that, you should know: the Zion theme is provided by a commercial developer and so the support people here don’t have access to its theme files. (This forum can only really support themes from the wordpress.org repository.)
It looks like you can find support that’s specific to that theme by posting on their site. Good luck!

In reply to: How to get rid of unwanted link on homepageIt’s definitely in the header (so, I assume header.php), and it’s before the
</head>tag ends so it is almost surely there accidentally 😉When you find it, you should remove the whole line, starting and ending with the
<p>and</p>tags.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Adding lpages to the side bar?Hi @acharles, do you mean you want to add a link to a page to your sidebar?
In TwentyTwelve, you can do this with a Custom Menu widget.
First, create the custom menu in your Appearance > Menus area by creating a new menu and then filling it with the pages you want to appear in your sidebar.
Then, go to Appearance > Widgets and add the Custom Menu widget to your sidebar. It will ask you which custom menu you want to appear there, and you can select the menu you just created.
