  I had a new post today, on http://dithascreativejourney.wordpress.com/ and I’ve make sure that it falls under the right category, and once it’s posted, I went to view the site but the categories are not there. I’ve added Categories in Widget, and it’s not working as well. I use the template Blix. I’ve refreshed the page, I’ve tried re-posting, and I’ve waited for hours and it’s still not showing up.
  Please help. How can I make the Category show up on the side bar?

  Blix does not display categories in the post metadata (on the post). I just switched my test blog over to it, and the categories I have there do not show.

  When you go to presentation > widgets, what shows in the box on the left titled “sidebar?”

  The other thing to check, is open your post for “editing” and make sure that in the Categories” section at the right, that there are categories selected.

  Thanks for the reply. Oh ok, I didn’t know, because I when I previewed Blix before I selected it to be my theme, it has Categories on the right. ALso, when I view post (once I’ve published the post, I clicked on the view post option), the categories and calendar actually showed up. But once I go back to my main site, it disappear again. So I’m not sure what’s going on.

  On widget, the box on the left shows Categories. Also, I’ve checked that the there’s category selected while posting, I’ve double checked and have re-post as well, and still not turning out :(

  Blix only shows the sidebar on pages where there are posts. If you have an about page, or other static pages created with write > page, those pages will not have a sidebar.

  I think you are experiencing the overwriting of the default sidebar display. Blix is coded to display links in a single alphabetical column without category sub-divisions. For more theme details you can look here http://internetducttape.com/tools/wordpress/wordpress-theme-reviews/

  Thanks for popping in with that. I had forgotten about the Blix issues (Blixues).
