The process should go like this, in this order. The order is important. First you go to category manager and create a category (you may skip this step if you plan to use an existing category). Set access to public Second create your article and assign it to your category. Article should be published and access level should be public. Third go to menu manager, main menu, add new item. Name the item (this will show on the menu). In menu item type select single article. Status should be published. Access should be public. Menu location is main menu. Parent item is Menu Item root. On the right side under required settings select your article. Save everything. When you go to the front end you may have to refresh the server to reflect the changes.
