  Hey there, is there any way to make a category a tab in the menus without having the ‘Category: [insert name of category]’ appear on the page?
  E.g. Category called ‘Feet’ on the menu bar and appearing on the page as ‘Category: Feet’ when you click on it

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

  Hi there,

  I see you want blog posts of specific category (Feet) to get displayed in different page. You can opt for category pages.

  1. Create a blog post and category (Feet in your case)
  2. Assign a category to that post
  3. Add new menu (by clicking on +) and select category (Feet)
  Now everytime you add a post to that category it will be listed in that category page

  Hope this helps!

  Hey Krutidugade,

  Thanks for your reply. My problem isn’t creating a new page with the category (feet). I already did that.

  What I noticed is that on the first line of the new page it says “Category: Feet”. And I don’t want that. You can gocheck out my blog, click on Ray of Sunshine tab on the menu and you’d see what I mean

  Thanks for your reply

  Hey jennifer,

  When i set category pages for my blog, it didn’t display “category:”
  Can you tell me which theme are you using?

  Hey jennifer,

  Thanks for hinting me about the theme. I figured out your theme is lodestar a while later.
  When I switched to Lodestar theme even I faced the same issue. I checked a few forums threads related to this topic.
  So, I have come to a conclusion that you can get rid of ‘Category:’ by using CSS customization.
  To add CSS code you need to buy either of Premium or Business plan.

  So either you purchase upgrade plan or change the theme is all I can suggest.

  Go through these forums threads answered by staff:
