 * Hii Guys
    I create a category. During Posting article, when I select the category
   which I had made. After refreshing the site, when I open the category menu, my
   whole article was showing instead of a blog post-headline.
 * and the next article was showing behind this article one by one.

 * If you add a category to your menu it will show everything in that category. 
   WordPress has a template called Category.php that is used to display the selected
   category. If you want to change the way categories are displayed you can create
   or override this file in a child theme. If a single article is selected it would
   use the single.php template to display that file. Category.php will display everything
   in a category where single.php display a single post regardless of category. 
   If you don’t have either of these files defined they will follower the WordPress
   hierarchy down until it reaches index.php.
 * I know that confusing but Categories will use category.php which displays all
   the posts in a category. If category.php doesn’t exist it will probably display
   the content using index.php. If the category.php file is programmed to display
   the whole post that is what you are going to get.
