  I created a drop down menu when you hover over the word blog which says gardening, recipes……., but when you click on that category nothing happens. It just stays on the home page. Before I publish a post, I categorize it for that subject but still nothing happens. Suggestions?

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

  Hi ohsureican,

  As far as I see in the code, the dropdown links all point to the homepage, that’s why it doesn’t work. There must be a place where you can set up the correct URL addresses for each category.

  Hi wpez0830,

  How do I redirect the URL?

  Sounds like you just need to use a custom menu and set up your menu items to link to your categories. See the support document here:

  Menus

  Especially this section.:

  And for more clarification on the “URL for the categories” read this.
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/view-all/

  In creating your menus you will be able to select your categories as menu items.

  But the basic URL for categories is in this form:
