  It seems the categories widget will only display a category if you have at least one post published under that category. Once you publish a post, the category should appear.

  to put post into categories when you are writing it up there is a little side bar there it will automatically be ticked as un categorized, un tick that and click the category you want. To do this for old post just go in and edit them and don’t forget to save.
