   This question has probably been answered before. (If so, I apologize and please direct me to the proper link.)

   I created multiple pages for my blog. I was able to arrange them in a certain order and set up the pages widget. I recently created more pages that show up in my dashboard but not on my site (in the menu bar, gray line of links on the top of my blog). I tried setting up parent/child hierarchies and deleting and editing pages (thinking maybe there's a limit to the number of pages or links that can be displayed on the menu bar). I know the new pages exist because they show up in the dashboard and on the widget. How do I get them to show up on the menu bar?

   Thank you for your assistance.

   The blog I need help with is smorse617.wordpress.com.

   There are two approaches.
   1. If you have only pages in your horizontal menu and that all you want in it see here please > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/#order

   2. But creating a custom menu allows you to display Categories with drop-downs to sub-categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Pages tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages with drop-downs to sub-pages and/or Tags pages and/or Custom Links in your custom menu as well. You are in charge of what appears in a custom menu. You choose the order in which to display any and/or all the foregoing in your custom menu. You choose which to display and which to hide.

   Thank you so much. Appearance - menus was what I was looking for. I know it existed since I obviously used this in the past to create my initial menu.

   Problem fixed. Thanks.
