Categories Don't Show Up
-
The categories don’t show up on my blog for some reason, even after I’ve posted something under that specific category. I’ve tried everything, but I’m limited. Any help?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi!
You can add a widget listing your categories in your sidebar, similar to the way you’ve added your instagram feed as a widget. You can find the option in Appearance -> Widgets.
This should help: https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/categories-widget/

Thank you! But I want them along the top (like the pages). I’ve seen this done before with the Oxygen theme. I’m not sure why it isn’t doing on my blog though

You are referring to creating a custom menu.
We publish posts and the dynamic category pages they automatically display on are determined by the categories we assign to them.
Please be clear on the differences between posts and pages
https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/Also be clear on the differences between static pages we bloggers create https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ that will not automatically update, and dynamic category pages created by the software when you publish a post which will automatically update https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/.
We organize posts by category assignment prior to publication. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/
You create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu
Then you add the dynamic category page links into the menu.
