    Hi,

    This is probably pretty straightforward, but I didn’t build the site and admit I’m pretty shaky with WP.

    You’ll see on the homepage that there’s a side list of links, and on each of the other pages there’s a top list of the same links. What I’m trying to do is edit all the “Schools” links to go to a different page than the one they go to now. But I can’t find where to make this edit.

    Thanks for your help!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Typically menus are managed by logging into WordPress, and then by going to “Appearence”–>”Menus”. You should see those links there.

    If not, the next place I would look is in the template files (“Appearance”–>”Editor”) in maybe header.php, page.php, index.php.

    Thank you, Jess.

    Yes, I’ve gone to Appearance–>Menus and the heads are listed there, but when I click on them it only shows a box with the navigation label and a blank box for “Title Attribute” (don’t know what that means), but no editable indicator of what the head links to.

    Under Appearance–>Editor, header.php and index.php (there is no page.php), there’s a bunch of html that I’m a bit afraid to get into… in any case, I don’t see any code in there indicating the header names or what they link to.

    Am I missing something?

    Ok good. That’s the correct place to manage the menus. Here are the official instructions for that:

    Basically you’ll need to remove the link that you don’t want any longer, and then add it back in. To the left of those menu items are a couple of accordion panels called “Pages”, “Custom Links”, “Categories”. You can add pages in through there. Either select the new page from the Pages section, or create a new custom link.

    OK, thanks again. The instructions are a little hard to follow, so for now I’ve done a temp fix. Will go over it again when I’ve got a bit more time.
