make categories visible

  • Hi! Thanks for the past help i’ve received, it’s been great.

    My wordpress is working great and users can comment, my question is, when they go to the wordpress page, the only category available is Comments.

    But I have two other categories I have created that I want to be available to users to comment in. Can you tell me how to set WordPress up so that these other two categories appear on the front page under Categories, and the user can click on them? Thanks so much!

  • Do you have any posts in those categories? WP is probably not showing the categories without posts.

    I’m sorry if this is a hopelessly naive question, but how do i get to my new category to post in it!?

    I go to write, and I can write page or post, but neither allows me to choose my new category. I know this category exists. My Admin panel allows me to delete or add a new category; I don’t know how to make the first post in it.

    Thanks so much for the help.

    do you have a sidebar on the right side with different blue boxes? Is the one that says Categories expanded (by pressing the + button)? If so, are your categories in there to check)?

    Hey, blepoxp, thanks for writing back. Yes! I found it, and that seems to have done it. It seems to be available now. So i just need to “prime” it, and i’ll be all set. Thanks again. I really appreciate your help.

    Yes, or tell wordpress not to hide categories that are empty.

    to do this, you would have to place hide_empty=0 in the argument section of your template tag.

    <?php wp_list_categories('hide_empty=1'); ?>

    wp_list_categories
