  Hi I posted and made 10 categories on my blog edit page.
  But only 5 categories is on my blog.
  Another 5 didn’t show up.
  What should I do to appeal all 10 categories on my blog?

  Thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can make 20 categories, but until a post is put into a category it will not show up on the front page.

  Please take note that until a Category has actually been assigned to a post that has been published there is no data to display. To be clear no Category will display until there is one published post with that Category assigned to it.
