  Please use the step by step instructions found here Create a Site Index https://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#create-a-site-index

  Unless or until you edit your posts and assign the categories to them there will be nothing for the software to display in the categories widget or on the dynamic categories pages. https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/

  If you are not successful then type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for Staff help and specify exactly which step you are stuck on. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then please subscribe to this thread so you are notified when they respond.

  I have followed the steps above and created a page “categories”.

  http://wp.me/P5JxOS-1n6

  But still don’t understand how this page will be recognized by every search engine as site map file sitemap.xhtml

  Is there any extra steps to do?

  Thanks

  I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble. However, http://samaranouri.com/ is a self-hosted WordPress.org blog, which we really can’t help with.

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.org has complete documentation and support sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress.org at http://codex.wordpress.org/ and http://wordpress.org/support/

  Thank you, so just to confirm that I have to use wordpress.org support for my website because it’s self hosted.

  Correct?

  Correct. WordPress.com staff does not have access to anything other than WordPress.com.
