Unable to link pages directly to Footer menu

I am able to create new pages and immediately link them to the Main menu. I was hoping to be able to do the same with the Footer menu, but it doesn't seem to be the case. What am I doing wrong?

D7 changed the way menus can be selected from the node edit form. You must now explicity specify which menus are available for each content type to reference. Edit the content type and ensure you change the menu settings to include your footer menu.

In the content type menu settings tab, check the footer menu so that the nodes of this content type can be linked to.

What I have been doing is creating pages using the basic content type. I've currently only got the homepage. I am unsure of what is the content type of the homepage though because it was there before I even created my very first content type...

When creating those pages some part of the url would be like node/add/CONTENT_TYPE_MACHINE_NAME.

This CONTENT_TYPE_MACHINE_NAME is the machine name of the content tpe. Yo can find this by navigating to admin/structure/content_types at your site.

Edit that content type and in the "Menu Settings" choose your menu item under which these pages should go.

Thank you
