You have failed to designate a hierarchical category structure and need to edit to fix that. The easy way to do this is to create a cusom menu. Add the categories pages to it and create the sub-categories order.

The subcategories are not working on my blog. They will show up in the sidebar but as a parent category, not a sub. I have the Origin theme.

Thanks!

The simple answer is If you do not want categories to appear on dynamic Categories pages then don't assign them to posts. Please expand on exactly what you want to achieve and we can work from there.

Pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ we bloggers create are static and cannot automatically update. But the dynamic categories pages created by the software will automatically update.

Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page. We organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories pages into the custom menu.

I just added a subcategory, lets call it X to the main category M.
I published the post and now my article doesnt show up on the archives of M.
Although all the other subcategories of M appear on its archive.

Category M
-New Sub Category X
-Sub Category A, B, C

What's wrong?

Its the second time this happens when I add a subcategory.

How do you fix that?

I am wanting my custom menu to appropriately display my sub-categories in a drop down fashion. I can currently only do this on the default menu.

I have created a custom menu, but when I use it it causes me to loose all my current drop down sub-categories. I need a custom menu so I can organize the order of the sub-categories. (unless someone knows a way to do this without using a custom menu)

I have checked and all my pages are set up correctly as parent, child, etc. I have tried multiple times to shift sub-categories right in my custom menu dashboard page, but when I update they all move back to left alignment.

Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed. Thanks,

You can assign more than one relevant Category and/or Tag to any post provided they are supported by the keywords in the text of the posts. These days search engines pay more attention to your keywords in your content than they do to your keywords in Tags/Categories. That's due to the fact that people have used irrelevant categories and tags to game search engine results and Google responded to that opportunistic spamdexing. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/03/01/revisiting-keywords-and-tags/

I was hoping you might be able to help me out with how WordPress works, in particular with categories.

So what i would like to know is basically how many levels can i have and can a post be part of various categories.

in more detail....
Say i have a post that is in Music>Rock>Reviews is that a possible amount of levels of categories for it?
Then in it possible to also have that post in Art>Music>Interviews?

The categories are just examples hope i've made it clear enough.

Let me know if you have any questions, thanks in advance.
