  Hi,

  I am trying to create a new Category called ‘Random Thoughts’ & I need to create a new Category Archives page like the other ones I have (as per the following example):
  https://communicatingcreatively.wordpress.com/category/photography/

  I managed to work out how to do it when I started the blog in July last year, but am having trouble remembering how to ‘finish off the process..?’

  The ‘Random Thoughts’ Category is now present on my Blog (across the top but not in the Categories section below)

  How do I create a ‘Category Archive’ so it links together & appears in the Categories widget?

  Thank you in advance.

  Regards,

  David

  Blog is: https://communicatingcreatively.wordpress.com

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

  Hi David,

  WP.com can be a bit confusing, no doubt. You’ve created the “Random Thoughts” menu item, but there is no category page yet because no published posts have that category assigned. Just adding the category “Random Thoughts” to a single post will result in the automatic creation of the corresponding category page. It will then appear in the Categories Widget in the sidebar.

  Hi Musicdoc1,

  Sorry for the late reply, but our internet was down until just a little while ago.

  Thank you! Much appreciated! :)
