I am new to WordPress, and am having issues having my posts appear under the different pages I’ve created. I have them highlighted on the home page (want to keep this), but I’d also like to have them appear on the different pages (ie. my new post will be featured on the home page but also on my “Healthy Living” page). Any help would be appreciated!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There first step is to edit the posts and add categories to them.
Dynamic category pages will automatically display all published posts that you have assigned to that specific category.
By default the front page of a blog displays all published posts in reverse chronological order with the most recently published post on top. When we publish a post on WordPress software the software automatically creates the same entry in the Archives, and on the dynamic (automatically updating) Categories and Tags pages in accord with the Categories and Tags we assign to that post.
Organizing posts
Dynamic category pages https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/ created by the software when we assign categories to posts are also not the same as static pages https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ we create.You can create a custom menu and include multiple dynamic category pages that automatically display the published posts assigned to the the specific categories in reverse chronological order.
Please see https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/Assign categories to posts. https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories
Create a custom menu. https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu
Add the dynamic category pages to into the custom menu. https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-category-pages and arrange them as you wish them to appear https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus -
Hi Timethief,
Thanks for your answer but I’m still confused. What if I don’t want the category to appear in the menu bar?
I have created the category and the page that I want to display the posts with said category but I can’t get them to display on the page. Help.

Hi there,
You can create the effect of a single page showing a group of related posts by following these steps to link to an archive of all posts in a certain category.
1. Assign the same category to all of the posts you want to appear on a given page.
2. Create a custom menu in Appearance > Menus.
3. Using the “Categories” module to the left of the Appearance > Menus screen, add the categories you want to appear as pages to your menu, and drag to arrange them.
