It looks like the menus are taking a user to the category pages, but the category pages are not displaying all the posts in the category. The fact that you mentioned that the problem did not go away when you changed themes indicates that is it probably not a coding problem. It looks like you have the configuration set up in the WordPress to only display 1 post on the category pages. Check: Settings > Reading > Blog pages show at most ___ posts. I'll bet this is set for 1 post. Try changing it to 10. Let us know if that works. Hi Elizabeth

I copied and saved your advice for future reference, I want to keep some categories from showing up. I can't find the answer I need for a bigger problem, hope you can help. My categories across the header and on the sidebar only list 1 article in the category even though there may be between 5 and 7 articles listed in that category. I have 5 categories and they all do it. I looked at permalinks, changed themes, disabled plugins and widgets, still have problems. I clicked on YOUR sidebar categories and was taken to a page that listed articles in each of your categories. I want what you have. Can you advise?

I was looking for a way to tweak my top menu without having to install a plug-in. There don't seem to be any easy to use plug-ins out there. I tried Suckerfish and Nav, but I think they are too cumbersome to use. Your explanation helped me accomplish what I needed to do. Thanks. Thank you, very helpful.
