New categories won't show.
-
Created new categories for my blog, but only the old ones show up: both at the end of the posts, and when I go to “Menus” and try to re-assign a post to a new category. I want to match up the posts to the new categories but it’s impossible. Why doesn’t my site adjust to the change I’ve made?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hey there!
Could you please let me know what the new Categories are? I can look further into why they aren’t appearing at the bottom of your posts, or in your custom menu builder.
It would be very helpful if you can tell me the Categories, as well as the posts to which you’ve assigned them.
Thanks much!

The new categories are:
Christian Living
Relationship
Women
Baking
Live Music Log
Family
Marriage Basics
marriage inequality
Other
Best Posts
Suppose I should add About and Home too!Posts linked to them…well that’s where we have the problem. The posts are linked to the old categories.

Hi there!
I’m able to see the new categories you listed in your site’s main menu. Here’s a screenshot of what I’m seeing there:
In addition, I took a look at some of your posts and am able to see the new categories at the bottom of them. For example, you post in the Baking category here:
http://madelynlang469.com/2014/10/30/pumpkin-spice-white-chocolate-chip-cookies/
I’m wondering if this could be browser caching issue. If you’re still not seeing the updated categories, could you try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies? We have a guide on how to do this here:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cacheLet me know if this helps or if you’re still not seeing the new categories on you’re site. If you can link to a specific post that isn’t displaying the new category at the bottom, that would be really helpful also.

Baking, and some others, are categories which were part of the old group as well as the new. Many posts also have “Bible commentary” which has been replaced by “Christian living”. Etc.
I know that the cats are listed at the top of the page but look here:https://madelynlang469.wordpress.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php?action=edit&menu=255466487
Look at the list of categories I actually have to work with ON THE LEFT. These are the old. When I try to assign a cat to a post, I get the OLD list to choose from.
I don’t see where I can edit this list (delete). -

Hi there.
Thanks for sending the extra examples!
From the bottom of the post you linked to, I can see it has two categories and seven tags assigned to it. Can I ask which specific ones you no longer wish to be associated with the post?
Additionally, I’m unable to see Christian Living when viewing all of your site’s categories via Posts > Categories in WP Admin:
https://madelynlang469.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category&paged=1Could you please try editing that category from that page and removing the ones you no longer wish to keep from there also?

Thank you for giving me the link to this page. I can edit here; I could not on the “Menus” page.
This is the old list. I think I can take it from here. Thanks very much and you’ll hear from me again if I have a problem. -
