WP can't easily select pages to add to navigation menu - wordpress

my problem is adding pages in wordpress navigation menus because there are many pages in my site and the pages meta box (in appearence -> menus) is not well indented. So, I can't find easily the right page in the list.
There is a way for reorder the page list hierarchically?
Thanks

Why not using the search? It's useful and easy!

first get your pages address in pages worpress bar
then go to appearence>menu and there you can add cusstom links to anything like your pages

I had the same issue until I used the Order field and Parent in Pages, you can sort and manage your pages in an order that will show in appearance -> Menus, you will see it as is in the following image.

How to manage wordpress pages menu from database?

How to find where my page titles exists in my database and how to merge with my menus? Maybe I can easily change them using phpmyadmin?
I found that Apearance->Menus is a nightmare when i have more than 40+ menu items. I want to get a workaround idea?
The menu items in the list are derived from each page's title. If you want to create a custom menu editor, use wp_nav_menu. It also helps to make sure that you set each page's parent page.
It might pay to look for a menu editor plugin, as I am sure they exist (No I havn't looked).

Which WordPress version you are using??
May be your theme support breadcrumb functionality.
You can check it from admin side.
Try to find breadcrumb's code in your header.php(or index.php, etc) and delete or place it between
<!--breadcrumb's code-->
If your theme has custom options menu and you can turn off breadcrumbs. Check it.
Also double check if pages one and two are child pages of home.

Wordpress News website, multiple layout, category base?

I have a theme, I am html web designer, but I can understand some php / wordpress coding also
I have a wordpress theme & I want to convert it into a news portal
Please guide me, I want to convert it into category base, should be like that
http://www.firstpost.com/ please guide me, how can I do ?
is it archive page or separate category page?
--
http://www.firstpost.com/category/world
when browsing category page, you can see there are different post layouts
without any duplicate post
please guide me
You can simply make a main menu containing links to your categories. This will load in the page you set as post-page (ie. the page that contains your posts).
Go to Appearance - Menu. Create a menu and set it as the main menu.
instead of ticking the boxes for linking to pages, create menu links like www.domain.com/category/cats and www.domain.com/category/dogs

How can I hide pages from menus in WordPress?

I only want to show the pages that do not have parents, and link the other pages from their parent pages.
I want to have a simple main menu: Home | Pages | About | Contact
About 8 pages are linked from the Pages page. At the moment, the menu has 12 items, which deforms the layout pretty badly.
I have tried making the pages private, unpublished, and other options, but that doesn't seem to be the way to do it. Is there a way I can just have only parent pages linked in the main menu?
You can edit the menu (under the appearance tab in the dashboard). (you may need to add a new menu and assign it to the main navigation menu. It sounds like you have the defaulted menu set-up.
Once you've added a menu and assigned it to the main navigation, you can uncheck "automatically add top-level elements" or its equivalent, and add/remove menu items. You can also change their hierarchy (independent of actual page hierarchy).
It's all so easy these days. Just Go to appearance>menus>click the little triangle next to the listed page name>click remove> don't forget to save ... all done!
Maybe you didn't set up a custom menu yet. Set up a custom menu first with the desired pages / links. If it doesn't show on your site, check custom memus are enabled in your theme.. this will help you setting up a custom menu: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-add-custom-navigation-menus-in-wordpress-3-0-themes/

Custom Order Menus in WordPress

I'm using WordPress Menus for my main navigation, at the moment it's displaying the navigation alphabetically. How can I get it to display my menus in the order I have them arranged in WordPress?
Thanks in advance!
Appearance > Menus
Select the menu you want to edit (this view is editing Main Nav)
Select that pages you want to include in your menu from PAGES on the left
Add To Menu
NOTE: You can also add post categories and nest pages within each other like shown in the image below. Make sure that your template is set up for menu nesting if you do this.
If you are talking about pages in your menu, go to the editing screen and look for Page Attributes (typically on the lower right). You will see PARENT, TEMPLATE and ORDER. In the order section, you can assign a number to the post, and they will appear in the order you define.
Hope this helps
In the menu page, you should just be able to drag the items into the order you want.
