Hi Wix blog folks - thanks for all your hard work! I see a lot of on-going upgrades which are always appreciated!
Meanwhile I'm having a strange issue - I can easily tag blog posts with categories such as "featured" to show up on my home page or "speaking" to show up on my speaking page, but the posts don't consistently show up where I tag them.
For example this post (https://www.blorrainesmith.com/blog/presentation-at-reversapalooza) shows up on the home page but not on the speaking page.
Further, I back-dated it to June 1 but it's showing up as the most recent post.
Any pointers? Thank you!
B. Lorraine Smith
Hi Lorraine,
thanks for your post.
I checked your blog and I see the post displayed on the 'Speaking' category page:
I also see that all the posts including this one are displayed and ordered correctly, according to date (newest on top).
Let me know if you still experience these issues!

Hi,
I am experiencing a similar issue with category. I write a blog post, I click the category to assign it..for example BREAKFAST. When I preview it, an error message shows up in Breakfast, and then the recipe shows up in other categories I did not assign.
In my header, I have FOOD then the other categories by course (breakfast, lunch, dinner). My goal is for viewers to click the category they want a recipe for, and then all of the recipes for the course they selected shows up.
When viewers visit the main blog page, they click a category in the header, which takes them to all of the posts included with that specific category. Correct?
Thanks in advance if you have any suggestions. I've been working on this for two days.

Hi! Thanks for detailed description of the issue. Please send the URL of the site so we could investigate your specific case.
I'm having a similar problem. I wrote some blog pages, and then later decided I wanted to categorize them. I added the categories, and then selected the category for the individual blogs, but they don't show up on the category pages. Is there a way to copy them to the category page? Or shouldn't they automatically display?
Hi Caballolinda,
thanks for joining Wix Blog community.
Could you please send the link of the post that doesn't show-up on the category page? Does it show-up in the 'All posts' category?
I browsed your site and so far the posts that are published - they all seem to be attributed to categories and working correctly.
Hi Blorrainesmith, Bricoopers2009, Caballolinda,
we can't locate the issues with categories without the more detailed information from you. Could you please send:
- your site URL
- your individual blog post URL that doesn't work correctly
- the screenshot of the page where you are not able to see the attributed post
Bricoopers2009 - please also send the screenshot with the error message you get.
Caballolinda - maybe you didn't saved/published the post, therefore the post is not visible. Please double-check.
Thanks,
Simona
Hi, also experiencing the same thing. My categories does not work. I assigned the post to particular category (Wander), and still it showed up in other categories (Dine & Dear Baby). My blog URL: https://neysarismalina.wixsite.com/neycit
Hello,
I checked your website and it seems you're not using a category filter on your custom feed. You need to click on the custom feed, go to the settings -> display -> choose a category for your feed.
Then it will display posts only from that category.
More information on custom feeds here: https://support.wix.com/en/article/displaying-posts-on-multiple-site-pages-using-a-custom-feed-in-the-new-wix-blog
Hope this helps!
Hi,
I am having an issue where I am using a custom feed, and an article is showing up in that feed without having that category tag.
https://www.briafundsupporters.com/fip-treatments
Only articles with "Treatment" should be appearing here but that first one "When Feline Coronavirus..." only has the category "FIP in the News" and should not appear on this page. All of the other articles are behaving appropriately.
I have tried, unpublishing and republishing, trying publishing with no categories, tried setting it to Treatments and then removing it. I am not sure how to remove this article from this custom feed.
Appreciate any help. Thanks!
Hello @kyliekiel,
Perhaps the custom feed's category is not set properly? If there's no filter, the custom feed will show all the posts.
You can set the category filter from the Custom Feed's settings -> Display
Tell me if this helps!
Hi Rafal,
Thank you for your prompt response. I have had it set as Treatment all along but it never seems to pull the right articles. (We are a small page so I never worried too much but we are trying to stay current now.)
If you click on the Treatment category from the main feed on https://www.briafundsupporters.com/fip-news/categories/treatment it is a different list than what is appearing on the Treatment page.
I am not sure where I am going wrong.
Hello again @kyliekiel,
I have fixed the issue for you. It seems for some strange reason it was showing all the posts even though you had selected only 1 category. I simply selected all the posts again and clicked the one category, again. It worked!
I hope this helps!
@Rafal Zacharevič Thank you! Looks to be working. If it fails in the future I will just try resetting the custom feed categories.
I am also having the same issue with Blog Categories.
I have amended a template which had three pages per category.
I've created four pages per category and assigned the categories to them. But pages appear in the wrong category and only three appear.
Help would be appreciated.
Hello @paulpearce12,
Could you send me the URL of your site so I could investigate what's wrong?
Perhaps the categories are assigned wrong or not enough posts are being shown due to some options.
Thanks and awaiting your response!
Hello, me again!
I've decided to check your most recently worked on website and I think I found your problem. Your Post List is working correctly, it's showing 3 posts because that's the number of posts you chose to show:
And you've simply chosen the wrong categories to display on the wrong pages:
All of this can be changed by clicking on the Post List and then Settings. From there you should both see "Choose a category" and "Number of posts to show"
Hope this helps!
@Rafal Zacharevič Hi Rafal - thanks so much for the quick answer. Really appreciate it and will give them a try.
Thanks again
Paul
Hi, I'm having issues with this as well. We have a normal news blog page and a separate Press page that we have categorized.
The news page works but the categorized Press page is not at all working. It just says that Posts are coming soon. We have never had trouble with this and it all of a sudden happened today.
Could some one help please? This is a little urgent as we have press releases scheduled.
Hello @INAM Berlin,
This seems like a new issue, thank you for noticing it and reporting it. I have forwarded this bug to our team and they're currently working on it. I'll notify you when it's fixed.
Thank you for your understanding!
Dear Rafal! I've had the same issue one of my client's site. A few days back it was good. Posts are categorized but the feeds doesn't shows up them, only the same Coming soon text.
The site is www.irepairpro.hu
I look forward to your feedback.
@Rafal Zacharevič Thank you!
Hello @INAM Berlin and @András Becker,
The issue has been fixed, could you please check your sites if everything is working fine now?
Thank you for your patience.
Thank you for the fast fix!!!! <3
Thank you so much! I checked almost straight after your last answer and it had already been fixed. So quick! Thanks so much!
Hello, who can help me with the following issue? @Rafal Zacharevič ?
I have correctly categorized my posts, I have set a page for each category. Until yesterday all worked well. Now my posts are mixed, no matter in what category they are. Wix recently made some updates regarding multilingual translation. And all my posts are shown now on all my blog pages. I can not assign the right posts on the right page, corresponding to the right category. It doesn't work. What is happening? My site is www.lumilaur.com (Lumilaur - wix)
For example I have a post in Gastronomy category.
The post is visible in all other pages not only in Gastronomy page.
What should I do? Thank you!
Hello @luminid,
Thank you for reporting this, I'll be sure to forward this issue to our team. Could you please give me some feedback that will help with the investigation. Your site before becoming multilingual was originally in Romanian, correct? When you've added English as the secondary language you had to translate all your posts to English by hand and then published them?
@Rafal Zacharevič I do not made any translation before my blog was mixed up. And yes my posts were in Romanian. I started today to translate, using the new feature multilingual that is very useful, but I saw that pages do no more correspond to categories. Moreover, I do not know if I have to create new categories for English or to use the same categories created for Romanian? Thank you in advance!
Hello @luminid,
Thank you for this feedback. I was able to recreate the issue on my end and it's currently being looked at, I will notify you once we have it fixed.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello everyone, I have the same categories problem some of you experienced. I write a post, check the categories and publish it. the thing is that blog post will be published in the all posts page, but doesn't show in the specific pages linked to the selected categories. Here's an exemple with screenshots and the link to my website : rawabet-links.com. and here are the pages this article is supposed to show in :
https://www.rawabet-links.com/copy-of-comp%C3%A9titions
https://www.rawabet-links.com/bourses-1
Thank you in advance for your help
Hello @Imane El Ouizgani,
When you check over categories on a post, you need to publish it again.
You can see from your published post feed, that assigned categories on a post show up with grey text:
Try assigning them again.
Hope this helps!
