  Hi, I have set up a couple categories, and assigned one category to my (so far) 2 blog entries. When I access my blog page, I can see the titles, a few lines of text, author and date of each post. But it doesn’t show the category to which each post belong.

  I have checked ‘display categories’ in Content Options from the Customiser, but it didn’t work. Any idea?

  Thanks!

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

  Hi there, it looks like the Dara theme displays tags rather than categories.

  I’d have to go check my test site to be certain, but that is how it appears on the theme’s Demo site. Have a look at the bottom of the post here https://darademo.wordpress.com/2016/12/11/travel-photography-tips/

  Note though that you can’t have the same word as a category and as a tag. Make your categories general, but make your tags specific to your post. More about Categories vs Tags here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories-vs-tags/

  Let us know if you have any other question.
