  Hi everybody,

  I spent about 1h trying to understand why when i check if the category pages I created work correctly, there’s no post in them. I followed the guide to create custom menus (I have a twenty eleven theme) and for each menu I added a page and a category as written… nothing shown on any of the new pages. Why? Help!

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

  You have to creates and published at least one post with a category assigned to it, in order for there to be any data to display on any category page.

  Have you done this? Adding Categories via Your Dashboard
  Have you done this? Adding Categories with the Categories Module

  You do not create category pages. They are sutomatically created by the software when you publish a post with a category assigned to it. This is the format of a category url http://fashionmarketingandvenice.wordpress.com/category/NAME_OF_CATEGORY
  So your create a cusom menu and you then add the category URL to it.
