Creating Sub-categories

You create sub categories in the standard way in the admin section. This is just a widget to show them it doesn’t set them up for you. Once you organise your categories and add them to your content the widget will work correctly.

Greetings

I will start at the beginning so you do not have to look at previous posts to understand what I wish to achieve.

I wish to implement Subcategories but it is not clear to me how I can do this.

I have attached an image of a partial list of Categories and subcategories from WordPress with the following 2 sets of Categories and their sub-categories defined. (How do I attach an image?)

Diseases

• Cardiovascular
• Diabetes and Obesity
• Kidney

Immune system

• Arthritis
• Auto-immune diseases
• White blood cells

I am using WordPress Classic Editor.

On my web (wisenutritioncoaching.com.au), in the right panel I have a list of Categories. I can move the Categories and Subcategories widget to appropriate panel underneath the Categories widget.

The Categories and Subcategories widget include the following options.

• Title is parent category
• Show full sub-category tree
• Show post counts
• a list of Categories to exclude

I click on UPDATE.

I am informed that “Widgets are saved”.

However, nothing has changed. In the right panel, I see my list of Categories.

The Categories and sub-categories are not displayed underneath my list of Categories

Where is my list of Categories and sub-categories? What is required to display my Categories and sub-categories?

I do not understand the response I received on 3^rd January 2023

“You create sub categories in the standard way in the admin section. This is just a widget to show them it doesn’t set them up for you. Once you organise your categories and add them to your content the widget will work correctly.”

I have already created my Categories and sub-categories in WordPress. I have placed the Categories and sub-categories widget below the Categories on the Sidebar and set the options. WordPress has informed me that the Widgets have been saved.

So, where is my Categories and sub-categories list?
