# Empty template: Category

 * I noticed that when I click the categories section, I get directed to a page 
   with a blank user interface.
 * No posts are displayed for that specific category.
 * If I go into the Categories and click the View link, I am getting “Empty template:
   Category”
 * What should I do to fix this? So that I could show posts that are per each category?

 * By default, Driven does not include an extra template to show categories. Instead,
   it uses the archive template to show posts from categories, tags, author and 
   monthly archive pages.
 * You can view all default templates on [https://github.com/ThemeZee/driven/tree/master/templates](https://github.com/ThemeZee/driven/tree/master/templates)
 * The archive template acts as fallback. Since there is no category template, it
   will use the archive one. Since you get an empty page my guess is that you create
   a new Category template on Appearance > Editor which is just empty. Therefore
   it does not display anything. You have to delete the template so that the archive
   template takes over again or add some blocks to the category template which actually
   show your posts. You can look at the archive template and how this works with
   the Query block.
 * Cheers,
