  I have 4 categories on my blog and also have 4 pages of the same names. I want to be able to make it so that when you click on a page it opens to all the posts that are categorised with that name. For instance on the Beauty page it would have all the posts that have ever been categorised as beauty. I have seen this on other blogs and wonder how to do it.
  Thanks!

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

  Hi there,

  Sure thing! You can set that up by adding the category pages themselves to your blog’s menu — we have a guide for setting that up here: Category Pages

  Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that. :)

  Hi, i followed the instructions like it said on the link but it wasn’t quite what i was hoping for. I want each category to link up with the pages running along the top of the blog not the links down the side, i may have not done it right :/

  Hi there,

  It looks like we’re almost set. In order for the category pages to appear in your top menu, you’ll need to add them here:

  https://inthenameofstyledotcom.wordpress.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php

  Currently, you’ll see pages like “Beauty” with the word “Page” off to the right. You’ll also see a category that reads “Beauty” with the word “Category”. That’s the menu item we want. On the item that reads “Beauty – Page”, click the drop-down arrow and click the read “Remove” link. You’ll need to remove all pages from your menu that you want to replace with categories. This is further explained here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/#step-3-add-the-category-pages-to-your-menu

  After you have your menu all set, click “Save Menu” at the bottom.

  The last step is to activate the menu on your site. You can do that here:

  https://inthenameofstyledotcom.wordpress.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php?action=locations

  From the drop-down menu, select the menu we just edited (you should only have one option). Then, click “Save Changes”.

  You should be all set! Give that a try and let me know if you run into any issues.
