    Hello,

    In ‘Posts Page’ drop down menu i’m not finding any categories.

    I find names of pages.

    How to set to category?

    Yes, I often forget I use custom page templates often…

    Create the template based on your theme’s layout and assign it to a (blank if desired) page.

    There are other ways using templates such as front-page.php or home.php (base those on a category archive template) – ask theme provider/dev.
