    I noticed I am not able to create Menus/ Pages where I can add blog posts. For Example: “Fashion” that when people click on it all the Beauty Related Posts come up.

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

    Hi there,

    It sounds like you are trying to add categories. Your site is not hosted with us here at WordPress.com but rather with Siteground. But here is Siteground’s instructions on how to add categories to your site: https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/use-categories/

    Depending on the theme, this may differ, but we cannot further assist because as mentioned, modestllychic.com is not on WordPress.com but is a self-hosted WordPress.org site hosted with Siteground.

    To clarify:

    • WordPress.com is a managed host platform that offers WordPress in a pre-customized server environment already set up for you to build your site. Hosting with WordPress.com is free, and the server, security, updates, and site optimization are all handled by us. We offer free and paid plans that provide additional features for your site based on your needs (plugins, custom themes, etc). You also have access to professional assistance via Happiness Engineers to address any issues you encounter.
    • WordPress.org is a self-hosted platform, meaning you download the WordPress software and install it on a web server from a host of your choosing (Go Daddy, Bluehost, Hostgator, etc.). You have to pay the host when you’re self-hosting, and the server, security, updates, and site optimization are all handled by you. This gives you more flexibility and control of your plugins, themes, and code, but also more responsibility to ensure those things are operating correctly.

    Our support page dives more into the differences:

    We welcome you to consider moving your site to WordPress.com, as we’d love to further help you. However, since you’re on a self-hosted platform, we do not have direct access to your account and therefore can’t directly address your issue.

    I recommend contacting Siteground, as they would be better positioned to assist you since they have access to your account. Also, the open-source forum community is always available and prepared to help users with self-hosted sites:

    Hope this helps.
