Setting the Default Category
https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/#setting-the-default-category1. To edit or delete a category assigned to a post (whether it’s a draft or has already been published), go to Dashboard → Posts → All Posts in your dashboard, hover over the title and click the Edit link. To delete the post click the Trash link.
For editing posts in the new editor see https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#go-back-and-edit-posts
For bulk editing posts see https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/#bulk-edit
2. To edit/delete categories in your dashboard go to Dashboard → Posts → Categories
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category
* You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with your actual blog’s name in that URL.
3. To edit or delete dynamic category pages in your custom menu go to Dashboard > Appearance > Menus
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php
* You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with your actual blog’s name in that URL.
4. To edit or delete Tags go to
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=post_tag* You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with your actual blog’s name in that URL.
The combined total of categories and tags assigned to any post must not exceed 15 or it will not display on WordPress.COM Categories and Tags pages and in the WordPress.COM Reader. Never assign the same keyword as both a category and a tag as they are considered to be the same for search engine purposes.

I am having the same problem here as well. I am working on my second website now and it’s not making any sense.
website 1 was easy, add a category to page and link your blogs to a category so it’ll show up on the right page.
website 2 –> doesn’t make any sense, I am working with Dyad 2, anyone a how differents blog posts can be on different pages?

@naturalcleanair, the WordPress software will automatically create category pages that will show all the posts from a particular category. As an example, here is one such category page from your site: https://naturalcleanair.wordpress.com/category/geen-categorie/.
If you create a Custom Menu, you can add the automatically created category pages to the menu, or to a submenu, such as off of your Products page. I see you have a Primary Custom Menu created, but have not yet assigned it to the “Primary Menu” location. If you do that, then you can add the various categories to that menu under your Products as a submenu, or wherever else you would want to put those in your menu.
Give that a try and see how it goes.

@thesacredpath, Thank you for your help. I haven’t completely figured it out yet but I am on the right track. I will do some more digging and keep you posted on my progress!

@thesacredpath, I looked and I looked and reread your reply multiple times but couldn’t figure it out. I believe it’s because we are talking about different things. I did find a way to create submenu’s under the primary menu’s.
But what I am looking for is the following: When writing a blog post – sometimes I want it to be mentioned at “header” products and sometimes at “header” news. I was used to create a header that was connected to a category, once the category was added to the blog post it would automatically be placed under this header.
Do you have fix for that with Dyad 2?
Thanks in advance!

@naturalcleanair: Right now you have this page set to display all of your blog posts.
It sounds like what you want is to have two separate categories of posts (News and Products).
If that is true, then you do not need to select a page to show all of your blog posts. (You can change this from Customize > Static Front Page.)
Instead, you need to add links to your Products and News categories to your menu:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/After you do this, just assign any new posts to the category that you want them to appear under.
