  Hello! I am new to WP and trying to make it so that I have categories ‘travel, food’ etc displayed at the top of my home page where I can put relevant posts. I tried adding pages which didn’t work. Can someone help me figure out how to set up these categories (that I want to be shown at the top of my blog on the main page) to help categorize my posts? Thanks.

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

  Hi,

  A Category Page, example: https://jillianpacheco.wordpress.com/tag/food, is created automatically when the corresponding category is assigned to at least one post. You may include links to the category pages in a custom menu.

  Correction:

  The link to the category page for the category “food” would be, https://jillianpacheco.wordpress.com/category/food, but it doesn’t presently exist because you haven’t added the category “food” to any posts. Tags and categories added to posts result in separate archives pages.
