  Hi Gemma,

  Thank you for your response, I will read the articles you suggested and let you know, but first,

  How do I delete the categories I already have? I have so many! :(

  Thank you!

  Hi Gemma,

  I think I got it, I didn’t realize I needed to go to WP Admin. :) I will keep you updated on my category process then.

  Thanks so much!

  Hi Gemma,

  I’m working on creating new categories.

  Do I need to publish every post under “Blog”? I don’t want every post to show on the main blog page, is this possible?

  For example, I want my restaurant review posts to only be shown under “Fine Food and Wine”.

  Hi there,

  I think I got it, I didn’t realize I needed to go to WP Admin. :)

  You can also manage categories from your Writing Settings here:

  https://wordpress.com/settings/writing/

  Do I need to publish every post under “Blog”?

  All of your posts will appear on the Blog page — there isn’t a way to remove certain posts and not others. But this is where the category links are useful! You could choose not to display ‘Blog’ in your menu and only add links to categories like ‘Food’.

  I see you’ve set up some country categories :) If you wanted to make them easier to manage, you could make subcategories:

  So Asia would be the parent category for Thailand:

  I hope this helps.

  Hi Gemma,

  Please help. I switched themes to an optimized wordAD theme and half my blog is gone and all my work on menus and tabs disappeared. What should I do!??

  Thank you!

  Hi Megan,

  When you change a theme, nearly everything comes with you. Your posts, pages, media, blogroll and all of your content stay. However, you will need to reassign your widgets and menu.

  The widgets haven’t been deleted, they are inactive and visible on this page:

  https://wordsfromatraveler1.wordpress.com/wp-admin/widgets.php

  Each widget can be dragged to the correct sidebar area at the top of the page.

  It looks you’ve already set up your menu :)
