    Deletion is never a solution for any blog issue like this one.

    If you deleted the Pages permanently then they cannot be displayed. if you did not permanently delete them you can restore them from Trash.

    Can you locate them here? Dashboard > Pages > All Pages?

    You can look in the last autosave for Pages » Page Revisions

    If you don’t find the post or page then it could be in your trash.
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/ Provided you did not permanently delete it then restoration is possible.

    Custom Menu Troubleshooting – My Pages aren’t appearing
    They must be public pages – not private.
    Public – The page will be visible to everyone.
    Protected – The page is protected with a password you set. Only people who have the password can view a protected page.
    Private – Pages are only visible to blog Editors and Administrators. Private pages are not visible in Reader, feeds, or in any search. A page can be private without being password protected.

    The Pages cannot appear in the Pages module in the custom menu if you deleted them.

    If they are not here Dashboard > All Pages then they will not display in the custom menu pages module.

    If they have not been permanently deleted from Trash you can restore them so they appear here again Dashboard > All Pages then they will display in the custom menu pages module.

    Very many thanks it WAS the 'private' box that was ticked. However, I now also have three pages added to the menu and can't seem to get rid of them in drag and drop or delete. I've moved them down to the bottom of the menu - delete please?
    thanks again

    If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

    Appearance > Menus
    locate the page you do not want to display in the custom menu. Click to open, once opened click "remove". When that box closes do the next page you don't want to be displayed and repeat. When all are done click the big blue "save menu" button.

    You cannot remove it from the blog as it is the default category.
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/
    You can replace it with another default category.

    You do not need to display it in the custom menu.

    The blog is already online and available to everyone on the internet.
    Note that it takes time and the frequent publication of fresh content that cannot be found elsewhere on the internet to get search engine attention. http://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/

    Do not hijack other blogger's threads by posting off topic into them. I already answered in the other thread:

    Only those with WordPress.org installs can use plugins
    http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    There is no FTP access to our free hosted WorPress.com blogs and we bloggers can't install plugins for security reasons. http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/ Also note that there is no upgrade you can purchase that allows FTP access and the ability to install plugins. http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-can-i-install-some-plugins?replies=5#post-1134869
