automatically linking posts to the same category as a menu item on the top menu

Hi there,
please navigate to Appearance->Menus enable Categories from Screen Options like here . Open the Categories menu tab and add your selected categories as menu items.

Let me know if this helps!

Hi, thanks,

I checked the screen options and categories are already enabled, so I’m sure you understand what I mean. I will try to explain a bit better; so in my my top menu I will have three seperate menus; lifestyle, fitness and nutrition.

When for example i post a blog post labeled in the category of fitness, how can i get that post to automatically become content within the fitness menu.

Thanks!

Nevermind, I have managed to get this working thank you.

Can you please help my out with my categories menu in the side bar; how can i display the children (either within or in a drop down ) within the parent category.

At the moment I have a blog post that has 2 categories; recipes(parent) and breakfast(child). Its displaying correctly(drop down) in the main menu, however in the side bar categories menu its displaying as 2 seperate categories.

Hi there,
please navigate to Appearance->Customize->Widgets->Blog and locate the Category widget. Open it and check the “Show hierarchy” checkbox. Uncheck
the “Display as dropdown” option also.

Let me know if this helps

Thanks, this worked great!

You are welcome!
