Can you post the link of you website .
Meanwhile try this
Go to NEW > CATEGORIES and make some new one . USE EX1 EX2 for easy navigation at first.
Go to APPEARANCE > MENUS
Edit menu link . Click CATEGORIES on left column and drag desired categories to the menus option . You can also decide to make those CATEGORIES to show as Primary or Secondary options
Check out below link to see how it works on my site.

Hi I just found out that the categories which have no posts are hidden.
Actually I am having some problems with this…
Let’s say I have the following category/sub-categories structure:
1.TRAVELS
1.1UK
1.1.1London
1.1.2Liverpool
1.2France
…
2.SPORTS
3.MEALS
…
If, for example, the post is related to London, I add it ONLY in “London” category.
This means the category “TRAVELS” will have 0 posts, but the sub-categories related to this one will contain posts.
I was trying to use the widgets from ColorMag to create “Highlighted Posts” filtered by Category, and due to the fact that empty categories are not shown, I cannot create a “highlighted posts” widget with all TRAVELS posts.
One workaround is to include the posts in categories and subcategories, for example: “TRAVELS”, “UK” and “London”, but it would be much easier to tag it only on a subcategory and consider all the posts included in a subcategory to be part of the main category, isn’t it? That’s how it usually works…
Any suggestion on that? Many thanks!!
One more thing: What is strange is that I can see this behaviour when I work with the widgets (from ColorMag), but not on the menus. If I add a generic category on a menu, it will show all posts included in the subcategories (as expected). BUt I cannot see this behaviour with widgets.
There is an option on appearance settings where if you tick it can hide or show empty fields.
Same applies for widget . and which widget are you referring to specifically.
Secondly it is better click TRAVELS UK LONDON all . It’s good for seo for your site and also for you to organise the front page .
You might want the secondary slider to show all options for travel and third slider for Food or other options .
Creating too much intricate design sometimes takes viewers on goose chase .
Why no create multisite for each categories
If you can provide a link to your website . I can have a look and suggest you some more options
Ok, I found out how to enable it bu adding: ‘hide_empty’ => 0 as a parameter in every wp_dropdown_categories call (on widgets.php file), but this doesn’t select the subcategories, so you can see the empty categories but nothing comes out.
I ended up adding all categories and subcategories as you suggested.
Many thanks!! 🙂
