I finally deleted all the menu pages and then added a few pages back in. This theme has other pages at the top which were not appearing. They are working now? I changed them and it lost the link, but they were still on the menu. So I do not know why it was not working earlier.
I have added a plug in for side menus, which looks really great on the demo, like the ‘print’ icon that stays with the pages throughout the website no matter where you go, but I still need some time to learn how to use it.
Currently this plug in is
disabled; make that deactivated.
