  So, I recently created a new menu? I have categories and subcategories and posts under each subcategory. I’m trying to post something to a subcategory. I’m not talking about adding a posts to the subcategories. I just want to add 1 post to a subcategory to explain the subcategory. For example, I have a main category called ‘recipes’. Then, I have a subcategory labeled ‘Breakfast and Brunch’. And under that, I have recipes such as ‘3 cheese frittata’. I already know how to add posts to Breakfast and Brunch. But when I just click on breakfast and Brunch, it just says ‘nothing found’ because I have no posts on that. Thanks for all of the help.

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

  When we publish a post on WordPress software the software automatically creates the same entry in the Archives, and on the dynamic (automatically updating) Categories and Tags pages in accord with the Categories and Tags we assign to that post.

  So when we create custom menu and add the dynamic (automatically updating) category pages to it we create the appearance (not the reality) of posting to more than one page.

  You need to be aware that:

  1. There are differences between posts and pages described here
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  2. There are differences between static pages we bloggers create https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ that will not automatically update, and dynamic category pages created by the software when you publish a post which will automatically update https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/.

  3. We organize posts by category assignment prior to publication. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/ and when we publish posts the dynamic category pages they automatically display on are determined by the categories we assign to them.

  So the process is:

  Assign Categories to your Posts. https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/
  Create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu
  Add the dynamic category page links into the menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-category-pages
