  Hi there,

  I see you want blog posts distributed as per category and the category should be listed in menu options. You can do by creating category pages.

  Follow these steps to have Category Menus:
  – Go to My Sites > Settings > Writing > Category
  – Create a Category (Travel or Lifestyle in your case) https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/#adding-categories-via-the-site-settings
  – Go to My Sites > Themes > Customize > Menus
  – Select the Primary Menu
  – Click on Add Items
  – Select the Category
  – Create a blog post and assign the category to it https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#publish-a-new-post

  Now every time you add a post to that category it will be listed in that category page.

  Read this step by step breakdown with visuals for better understanding https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/

  Hope this helps!

  @kenaryann
  I checked your site. I see posts appearing on homepage. None of the posts are categorized.
  After creating categories you need to assign it to the posts.
  Edit a post. To the right, you’ll notice Post Settings.
  – Go to Post Settings > Categories & Tags
  – Check the checkbox of a category
  – Click Update
  Your post will be listed under that category.

  Refer this link for better understanding:

  Let us know if you need further help.
