Post is not showing on (category) menu page
-
Hello lovely people at Support!
I am trying to create a category page in my menu, that will show only the posts related to BCN handmade, which is a new section that I have created for my blog. I have tried all that is shown on the tutorial pages and video (and saved every step I have taken), but am getting nowhere – the post is just not showing on the menu page! Can you help please?
Thanks!

Howdy,
It doesn’t appear that you’ve configured a custom menu.
First, you’ll need to assign the appropriate category to your posts:

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your suggestions. I am pretty sure that I have done all of the above, and yet nothing appears on my page. It worked for me before, on another blog, but doesn’t seem to want to work on this one!
I’m puzzled as to why that is! :/

Hi there,
Your custom menu doesn’t appear to be configured properly. Keep in mind that menus are different from menu items (like the “About” menu item).
At Appearance -> Menus, you seem to be creating multiple menus, instead of one menu with multiple menu items.
Please review the guide at:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/You can add a category page to your menu by following this guide:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-category-pages-to-your-menuFinally, be sure to activate the menu after you’ve built it:

Thanks once again! I created a custom menu and brought the About, BCN Handmade, Contact and Sitemap pages under its ‘wing’. All good.
Added the Category BCN Handmade to the BCN Handmade page, but that did not result in the relevant post (with this category) appearing. Not so good, but added the post by hand as a sub menu/page and it is there, which is what I wanted.
I’ll just have to remember to add the next ones by hand also, as the category page does not seem to be working (must be something I am still not doing right)…
