Posits not appearing in Categories

  • Unknown's avatar

    On dashboard, Menu doesn’t show under Appearance. Also posts to Categories are not appearing on site pages. I’ve tried the fixes suggested by AI but cannot get it to work. Have done this before on my other site and no problems.

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

    Hi there!

    I noticed that you started a live chat session about two hours ago but didn’t respond to our replies. I wanted to mention this in case you wanted to chat with us again. Please make sure to wait when you see the message We’re connecting you to a Happiness Engineer on the chat form.

    On dashboard, Menu doesn’t show under Appearance.

    On the new themes that work with the more flexible Site Editor, the menus are managed directly within the site editor; that’s why the Menu option does not show up under Appearance.

    You can see how to work with a menu here: https://wordpress.com/support/menus/add-links-to-a-menu/#add-menu-items-in-the-site-editor

    The Menu option will show up under Appearance only if you’re using a classic theme. However, we strongly recommend giving the Site Editor a go (let us know if you need help when setting it up). It’s more customizable and lets you see your site as you’re working on it.

    Also posts to Categories are not appearing on site pages

    Could you share the links to the pages where they are not appearing?

    Note that if it’s a regular page, you will need to insert either a Query Loop block or a Blog Posts block and then set up the appropriate filters so that posts from certain categories are displayed.

    Hope that helps!

    I didn’t reply because I lost my connection at that point and couldn’t find the thread later. I have sincerely tried to master the new Site Editor but I’m lost. How do I switch to a theme that supports the Classic Editor, a system that has served me well on my other blog for years.?

  • Hello there,

    Many thanks for reaching back out!

    It’s possible to change themes here: https://wordpress.com/themes/all/witcraft.org?s=classic+editor and this link will provide some that work with the Classic Editor. Technically, every theme works with the classic editor: https://en.support.wordpress.com/classic-editor-guide/

    Is there a particular look and feel you’re looking achieve with the site? I’ll happily make some suggestions!

    Looking forward to hearing from you!

    Thanks for the help. Changed the theme to a Classic and I can do most things now.
