Posts only appearing on ‘Latest Posts’ page

    I feel like there should be a really simple solution to this, however I’ve spent days trying to find it and still can’t so hoping someone can head me in the right direction. 🙂

    First website build so I’m probably looking right at it..posts I have made on my site are appearing on the ‘Latest Posts’ (LP) page, but not on the desired category page.

    I thought this must be due to a setting in Posts, however I now realise that when I click on any of the categories on the LP page it doesn’t take me to the desired page at all, but instead stays on that LP page and just brings up the post. ??

    Using Astra theme, but have tried it with alternative theme to no avail. Have cleared cache also.

    Hoping someone can help.

    Many thanks

    Hi there,

    The following categories on your site shows posts.

    We can assign more than one category to a post and if you want to display all your posts on the category page named Latest Posts (https://nannyhelp.com.au/category/latest-posts/), you will also need to assign this category to your desired post.

    Here is the setting for reference on how you can assign more than one category to your post:

    Feel free to reach out again if you still need assistance with the issue.

    Thanks

    1) What’s the name of the “desire category”?

    2) Have you assigned the post in question to this “desired category”?

    You have to assign the post to the desired category BEFORE the category can display the post.

    I thought this must be due to a setting in Posts, however I now realise that when I click on any of the categories on the LP page it doesn’t take me to the desired page at all, but instead stays on that LP page and just brings up the post. ??

    Actually, that’s not what’s happening.

    When you click on a category page on your site, it takes you to the category archive page (check your browser’s address bar to see the URL changes). Your category archive page displays just the title and summary/excerpt of each post.

    But you have only one post in each of the two categories (“Activities for Kids” and “Healthy Snacks for Kids”) that’s what makes it seem like the category archive page just brings up the post.

    Thanks Mohammad and George.

    Category has been assigned to the posts, eg the post ‘best free activity for kids’ has been assigned to ‘activities for kids’ category however it does not appear on this page. I have not included ‘latest posts’ as a category.

    Am I right in thinking I have the name of the post for the url? eg nannyhelp.com.au/best-free-activity-for-kids

    Thanks again
