See if the Blog In Blog plugin will do what you want.

Thank you for the suggestion vtxyzzy. I had a look but that plugin hasn’t been updated in two years so I think I’ll wait to see if someone can tell me what I’m doing wrong. Thanks though!
I understand your reluctance.
I don’t see ‘luan’ in your menu. Did you remove it?

Sorry I had to hand the site over to my sister so removed it. I put it back now with the code:
<?php if (in_category(’17’) && is_home() ) continue; ?>
in home.php
I created two posts. The one with no category go to Joernaal like it should. But the one with the category Luan does not appear anywhere.
Thank you so much for looking!
The category shown in the menu link is ‘luan-2’. Does this agree with the category assigned to the Post?
Can you post a link where the page can be viewed?

Yes sure, it is still the same as in the original post:
http://www.luankruger.angelicdesign.co.uk/
The only thing that has changed is the category id.
I’m hoping I’m just missing something obvious?
You gave me the link to your site. I want to view a single post that is in the category. Go to Admin->Posts->All Posts, scroll to a post in the category, and click View. Post the link that shows in the address bar while viewing the post.

When I open that post and click on the categories in the left sidebar, I get the same results as when I click on the menu item. That seems to indicate that there is something wrong with the template that is supposed to display the categories, not something wrong with the menu.
Since I cannot test the template and debug it, you may need to hire someone to do that. You can post a job request on jobs.wordpress.net at no charge for posting.

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately that is not an option but I do appreciate your help. I’ll read up about the category template.

Thanks to the advice from vtxyzzy I managed to solve this. My solution for future users:
I created a catergory-17.php (my catergory ID) as per the codex and customised it so that the posts display the way I would like them and now it works fine.
I also found the following way to do it which also seam to work fine:

I would love to hear which approach is considered best so if anyone would like to give input that would be great.
Thanks again vtxyzzy!
