    If I make two categories – for this sake I will say

    Health

    Fitness

    when I go to make a post or page under one of the categories it appears as a link under both categories? I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I did add some code so I could have two sidebars but this has not made any difference.

    I don’t want it as a blog – the posts wont be updated as such, I just want pages of info under one category such as:

    Health
    ..Food
    ..Vitamins
    ..Life

    Fitness
    ..Gym
    ..Exercises

    etc

    Yet for some reason it would show as this on my site:

    Health
    ..Food
    ..Vitamins
    ..Life
    ..Gym
    ..Exercises

    Fitness
    ..Food
    ..Vitamins
    ..Life
    ..Gym
    ..Exercises

    What am I doing wrong – I thought this would be easy blog stuff to do.

    You might be better off using Pages rather than Posts. You could start by making a Health page and a Fitness page.

    Then, when you create the Food, Vitamins and Life pages, you could make them children of the Health page. The Gym and Exercises pages would children of the Fitness page.

    Thanks esmi 🙂 I got a tad confused and was trying to add pages under the categories which meant one page came up under all categories, and then tried with posts which did the same thing lol.

    Just pages sounds the way to go though, not sure about the whole children of the original page – if anyone could enlighten me – if not no worries and I will search and see where I get to.

    So categories is definitely not the way to go I guess!

    Thank you.

    You are a bit of a god send at the moment lol. I just read that and tried it – only thing was the child pages didn’t look like child pages off of the main page in the sidebar. However, once uploading an older theme I had (a simpler theme to work with) it worked straight away!

    Bit hard to show how much something is appreciated over the internet but as I have struggled with this for a long time I very much appreciate it!

    Here, have some cake 😀
