  (My post on this yesterday disapeared hihi..)

  Thank you for the previous help.

  I have read myself up on categories and is almost there, but still I do “something” wrong.

  I wanted to create a page and give it a catergoy – Then post a few blogs that I assign the same category so that they all automatically shows up on this page. (the cusumisation menus here are really difficult I think)

  I almost got it, but instead of getting the posts to stick to the page they “stick to the category instead” , and the page is blank…hihi…
  Where did I do wrong?

  Here is where the posts end up – I also managed to get this into my primary menu

  This is the page where I really wanted the posts to go and its blank..

  Thank you so much again for helping me do this(:

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

  Category pages such as http://localhuetravel.com/category/the-tours-listed/ are created automatically, so you don’t need to manually create a separate page for them at all.

  I would recommend deleting this page: http://localhuetravel.com/the-tours-listed/

  And just using the category page instead: http://localhuetravel.com/category/the-tours-listed/

  It looks like you did already figure out how to link the category page in the menu, so that part should be all set.

  What do you think? Will the suggestions above work for you?

  Thank you so much @designsimply

  So I actually made it after all!?(((:
  (Except for the unnessesary creation of the page)

  Ok I delete it and can keep moving on(:
  You have no idea how many hours of tweaking I have done to try and fix this before I entered the forum..hihi..

  Do you know how I delete “the writing” on this category-page, where it says “Category” with big letters on top of it, above my 2 posts?

  Yes this suggestion will work, thank you so much once again

  To make sure I understand, I think you’re saying you want to delete “Category:” from the heading at the top of the page at http://localhuetravel.com/category/the-tours-listed/

  There is a very tricky workaround you can use to do this with custom CSS. In order to apply it, you must have at least the WordPress.com Plan, and it looks like you do so you should be all set if you want to give it a try. The change will only affect the “The Tours Listed” category page. It basically hides the original title and replaces it manually using the “content” property in CSS. Here are some steps if you’d like to try it out:

  Go to the Appearance > Customize > CSS panel in your dashboard. Replace the default comment there with the following and save changes:

  .category-the-tours-listed .page-title:before {
      content: "The Tours Listed";
      visibility: visible;
  }
  
  .page-title {
  	height: 1em;
      visibility: hidden;
  }

  If you browse to the “The Tours Listed” category page while you are in the customize live preview, you should be able to preview the change on that page before saving if you’d like.

  Thank you again @designsimply

  I understand I have to learn more about CSS. When I get the time, I think it is difficult.
  Ok now I have the way to do it, thank you(:

  No problem. That particular change is actually a pretty tricky one!
