Custom categories doesn’t appear

  • Unknown's avatar

    The only category appearing in my blog is the default one, uncategorized. I tried everything: install & uninstall categories widget,delete&create new categories. At the beginning they appear, but something happened, i saw a category called 759 (that i didn’t create) and after that i’ve never seen them again. I’m using the free (web based) wordpress system. Please help me. Thank you

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

    It helps all involved if you link your blog to your user name as explained in this sticky:

    Without being able to see your blog, I can only guess that the categories don’t have any posts assigned to them yet. They won’t show up until they have at least 1 post.

    Gracias y de nada! Most people in real life call me Ella and how I ended up with an echo here is a boring story. :)

    I see only 3 posts on your blog and they are all uncategorized. Two of them have tags and I see those tags on your sidebar. Since they are side-by-side, I assume it’s a tag cloud, not a list or drop down.

    Categories and tags are different things. This will explain them:

    Categories vs. Tags

    I solved it. how? i don’t know…Nice blog also, but i didn’t find a rice food! I’d make a rice category, with posts for paella valenciana, cooked oven rice…with a tag called “my specialties” bon apetit!
