  I’m trying to put a specific post into a subcategory I made. I’ve done my custom menus and have created a drop down of more specific menus related to the topic and want my post to go into one of those specific menus.

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

  Hello Olivia,
  Follow these steps:
  There are two options to creates pages that show blog posts from a particular category.

  1. Using the Display Posts Shortcode:
  i. Create a new page by following the steps given here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
  ii. And then, use the display posts shorcode in that page to display posts from a particular category:

  [display-posts category="must-read" posts_per_page="-1" include_date="true" order="ASC" orderby="title"]

  More information about using the display posts shortcode can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/display-posts-shortcode/

  2. Create Category Pages:
  Follow this official support guide to create Category pages that will pull posts from a particular category: https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/

  NOTE: Please make sure you add categories to your blog posts to make these work. Guide for adding categories to a post can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/

  And then add custom menu links(to the category pages) to your menu bar:
  1. Go to My Site(s) → Customize(Beside the Themes option) or just click here: https://wordpress.com/customize/. This will open the site Customizer.
  2. On the sidebar of the Customizer, click on Menus.
  3. Click on Primary.
  4. Click Add Items button to add a custom link to the menubar.
  5. Click on Custom Links tab.
  6. On the URL field, paste the link to your etsy store and on the Link Text field add some that that you want to display for the link.
  7. Click Add to Menu.
  8. Finally, click Save & Publish.

  More information about this can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

  Hope these help. 🙂
