Categories

I believe I set up the categories box incorrectly. I would like to find out how to categorize all of my posts since June 2011 correctly, if it is not too late to do so.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
I checked your site. I see you have added 2 category names in Widget label and categories are listed in dropdown. So, I believe you want a Category widget that lists all the categories one below the other. I will try to help you with this.
– Go to My Sites > Themes > Customize > Widgets
– Select the Widget area (Sidebar)
– Select Category
– Type a Label (say ‘Categories’)
– Uncheck the checkbox ‘Display as dropdown’
– Click Save & Publish
This will add Categories widget and will list all the categories below it.You can refer the document link for better understanding:

Thanks Kruti,
I actually figured it out myself but now find that I want to delete certain categories and cannot figure it out. Do you know how to do it? -
Hi @organichealer,
You can delete the categories you want from Site Settings.
– Go to My Sites > Settings > Writing > Categories
– Click horizontal 3 dots icon aligned to category you want to delete
– Click on Delete > OKRead this document linked below:

Thank you Krutidugade for your help with the categories. I have had success with that.
Now, I have a different issue. I tried to use a photo of a roasted red pepper soup that I found on line, downloaded it and added it to my blog on Oct. 31 2016. I followed all the steps and when I clicked on Update, it did not come through. I am wondering where i went wrong. -
@organichealer
That’s a strange behaviour. It could be some browser issue. I would suggest you to clear browser cache. https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache
Close the browser once you clear the cache. Open a new browser window and try to login.
Then upload the photo to the post and check if the image is getting added.

Thanks for your quick reply. Today, it appears to be working fine.
I just found out that I cannot legally use images on the web for my posts. Are there some images that you know of that are royalty free?
-
You find some public domain images on the link below:
https://www.pexels.com/public-domain-images/Also, here’s a list of sites that offer free images to be used by public.

Thank you krutidugade for your help with the sites that offer free images.
I would like to invite people to sign up and follow my blog. Is this the correct procedure I would use?
On the dashboard, I click on users and then Invite New. I added a friend’s email address the role is follower and clicked on Send Invitation. However, when s.o. clicks on Healthy Nourished Body which is underlined, it takes it to a page called The Cat’s Pajamas. Please help. What am I doing incorrectly? -
@organichealer
Sorry for late response. You are perfectly following the steps to invite new users. I wonder why your blog isn’t getting linked to Homepage of your site.
I’ll add modlook tag in sidebar to get staff assistance. Staff might help you better with this. -
Thank you Krutidugade.
What do I need to do on my end? Just wait till I hear from someone from Word Press in regards to why my blog isn’t getting linked to the homepage of my site?Ilia

Hey llia,
The threads that are flagged with modlook tag are sure to get staff assistance. For now you need to wait. Someone from staff will soon reply on this thread and sort the matter. :D

@krutidugade excellent help here!
@organichealer can you share the email address of the person who is getting the wrong link? I’ll see if I can figure this out. Also, only staff will be able to see the email address posted here.

Hi Supernovia,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
What I did prior to sending out invitations to people to sign up and follow my blog, I tried it out on myself to see if it would go through. I sent it to (email visible only to moderators and staff) which is not the email address associated with my account. When opening the invite and clicking on Healthy Nourished Body that is underlined, it took me to a page called The Cat’s Pajamas.
I do not know if this is happening with everyone I sent an invite to or not.
I thought it strange and wanted to let you know. Is there something I did incorrectly?

Hey @krutidugade
If I am a member of several chronic illness facebook sites, How would I get my new posts to post to those sites directly like I get it to post to my business facebook page, Healthy Nourished Body? Is there a way to do this?

Okay, here is what happened now.
I have another gmail account. I tried to send myself an invite. This time, unlike on Sunday, when I clicked on Healthy Nourished Body which was underlined, it brought me directly to my blog. It did not, however, allow me to sign up when I clicked on the Accept Invitation button. I am guessing this might be because it knew it was me? -
If you’re already a member it won’t have you join again.
Please be sure to include relevant details (links and email addresses for example) if you’d like staff to double check.

Hi @supernovia
Thanks for your message.
If you would feel comfortable sending me your email address, I could try it out on you so you can see exactly what I mean. Are you a foodie by chance? Do you like learning about healing through food and getting nutritional healthy tips? That is primarily what my blog is about.
If you send me an email address, I will try to send you an invite like I have been doing. Ilia
