I haven’t yet published my blog and wonder if that is why the pages don’t show up. They’re in the dashboard, but the only pages that display on the menu bar are Home and Sample Page.

Have you set a default header menu?

@Bouncedancer: Yes, you can create pages and then create your own set of custom menus form “Appearance => Menus”. See more details at http://catchthemes.com/blog/custom-menus-wordpress-themes/

Thank you again, Sakin, for trying to help. No matter how I slice & dice it, my actual pages won’t show up when I try to create a menu. In the article you referenced, you can click on a choice of Pages, Posts, etc. for the menu. The choice of Pages, Posts etc. doesn’t show up for me; instead I initially got a box that gave me the only choice of Contacts or Sample Page. Now I have fiddled enough with it that all it shows under Edit Menus on the left is a box with “Pages: No items.” For some reason my actual pages are not recognized.

@Bouncedancer: Did you add in pages from “Pages => Add New”? Just want to make sure that you are not confused with the Post that is added from “Posts => Add New”. You can try disabling plugin and changing to default Twenty Eleven Theme and check in. Let me know what happen as I cannot check in without looking at your site. Also add in ‘Page’ widget in your sidebar through “Appearance => Widgets”. If this shows your pages.

Yes, I am not confusing Pages with Posts. The Pages were added thru Add New and as such do show up when I click on Pages.

When you said “disabling plugin,” did you mean to disable the Catch Evolution theme and install Twenty Eleven? I did, and it was the same with that theme, so I switched it back again to Catch Evolution. The only thing that shows up on the strip below my custom header is “Uncategorized,” which isn’t even pages, but (I assume) having to do with posts.

Even though I moved the Pages widget to the main sidebar, it didn’t show up at all. Another widget that is also in the main sidebar on the Widgets dashboard also doesn’t show, my RSS widget.

Sakin, would it help if I sent you the sign-in info via email?

@Bouncedancer: Thanks for the access and I found the problem in your site. I see that you have made all your pages as “Private” that is why it is not showing in your menus.

Awesome — I briefly made the About page public and went to Appearance — Menus, and there it was! I hope this also will take care of the Pages and RSS widgets that won’t show. Thank you very much, Sakin.

@beli22: The name of the widget has been changed in WordPress 4.9. It’s changed from “Custom Menu” to “Navigation Menu”. You can check out WordPress core ticket at https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/40442
