Separating posts into categories
-
I have a category widget on the side bar and a post that I assigned to that category, however it is not showing under that category. How do I get that post to move into the category and be separated on a different page from my main uncategorized blog posts?

Since your site is private, we volunteers cannot see it.
Open that post in the editor and make sure in the categories module that only the new category is selected, and that the uncategorized category is not. Do note that all posts from all categories will show up on the main posts page for your site. There is no way to exclude categories from the main posts page.

Thank you for that information! Ok, I have opened that post and selected the new category. I understand now that all posts will show on the main posts page, but now how do I go about designating this post to a category so that it is linked to the category on the side bar?

Once you have checked the box for the category you would like the post to appear in, you just need to click “Update” to have this change take effect. Good luck!
