Where do i start my blog??

Two short questions now
When I've created some cathegories, will they appear one the startpage even if there are no posts in them?
Or will they appear first when there is something categorised there?Is it possible to cathegorize also the old posts?
Thank you so uch for helping me settle in!

@hundstina Hi
Did you read the links I posted about Wordpress categories? Most is explained there.
There's also tons of information on the web about WP, a quick Google search found me:
https://www.wpbeginner.com/glossary/category/
https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/use-categories/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w5Yckcu8zoI see you've already created some categories:

No, categories belong to posts, but you can add a widget to the sidebar if your theme supports it, or add them to the menus. Example, look at my sidebar and top menu here:
https://pathduck.vivaldi.netThemes and Widgets are of course a separate thing to learn about, but again there's tons of information on the web
Is it possible to cathegorize also the old posts?
Of course - go to your All Posts view, and choose Quick Edit on a post, the categories are there to be selected.

Thank you so much!
I just want people to be able to chose, from the home page, the category they want to read
How do I add a certain category to a certain meny that already exist?PS. I try to read the WP instructions but I think I'm too stupid

You can edit your menus in
Appearance > Menus
You can add categories/pages/posts and even custom links to a menu.Not all themes support menus, but in your case you have a top menu already that you've edited so do the same again
Here's a good guide in Swedish too, if all these English docs are hard to understand:

I'm back again ๏ธ
Developing slowly but surely .
This time I have a simple question, I think.I made a new post from my Android today. Before, I have only used my laptop.
But I can't figure out how to show a comment box on this post (as in the post before, same category). Have tried different options with no result. On the screen option section there is no information about the tick boxes alternatives... So I'm not sure if a "tick" means show, or hide But I've tried both.
So, why can't I get a comment box to show up here??
Anyone who knows?

@hundstina That's easy : it's a category
Comments are only on posts and pages.

@Pathduck
What??
I thought it was a categorized post?
What did I do wrong? -
@hundstina "Mattens" is a Category, and you have assigned this to three Posts.
This is a Post under the "Mattens" category:
https://hundstina.vivaldi.net/2022/06/20/nu-har-jag-det-tror-jag/This is a Page:
https://hundstina.vivaldi.net/hundigt/It's all a question of categorising and organising your blog the way you want
Note that comments seem to also be turned off for Pages on
vivaldi.net
. Not sure if that's intentional or not... -
@Pathduck
Okay, guess I have to learn the hard way
Both "Midsommardag" and "Nu har jag det" are posted on the "home page" and categorised Mattens. Yet I feel something differ, and I can't figure out what it isHowever, somebody managed to comment todays post. So I guess there is some kind of comment option anyway. I settle with that so far. Thanks again!
