This looks like a classic “menu exists in one page but not others” situation. found the menu element, and reports items show on the homepage only. The fastest way to triage is to determine whether the items are missing from the generated HTML (server/template issue) or present but hidden/removed by CSS or JavaScript (client-side issue).

First checks (use the browser devtools):

  • View the raw HTML (View Source) and compare it with the live DOM (Elements panel). If the menu entries are not in View Source, the problem is on the server/template side or you edited the wrong include. If they are absent from the live DOM but present in View Source, client-side JS probably removed them.

  • In the Elements panel, confirm the count and text of the LI items. In the Console you can list them quickly:

    Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('#nav > li')).map(n => n.textContent.trim())

  • Check computed styles for display, visibility, opacity and for any media-query rules that hide items on certain pages or widths.

  • Look at the Console for JS errors and the Network panel for missing JS/CSS files (404s). A missing initializer or a script that only runs on the homepage will explain differing behavior.

Common root causes and fixes:

  • Edited the wrong header/footer include or there are multiple templates. Search the codebase for a unique menu label (for example “Comics”) to locate the real file and edit that copy.
  • Server-side caching or a CDN serving an old version — clear caches after edits.
  • Relative asset paths or a <base> tag breaking JS/CSS on subpages; switch to root-relative or absolute paths.
  • A dropdown plugin or script that clones/moves items based on container width or a body-class; ensure the init runs on every page.
  • Broken HTML before the menu (unclosed tags) can break subsequent markup — validate pages with the W3C Markup Validation Service.

If the items are present but simply hidden, a short temporary override can reveal them while debugging:

ul.dropdown > li { display: inline-block !important; visibility: visible !important; }

Focus first on whether the items exist in the server output; that answer will narrow the fix to either the template/caching side or the CSS/JS side.

No it wasn't I found it though but now I'm having a problem with it anyway; when I add items on the menu you can only rely on them showing up on the homepage. But the menu is the same on all pages, it's the same file. So..... ughhhh what is the problem go to the website check the comics and artwork I think I had to add pages on there, then go to another page, there will be fewer items under both of those sections. What the fuck
