Ohhh…I just figured out what the problem is. I had added the Ultimate Category Excluder plugin (https://www.planetmike.com/journal/plugins/ultimate-category-excluder/) and I decided to see if deactivating it would make a difference and sure enough…now the categories work.

So…that said… I really need to make it so that only certain categories show up on the main page. Is there any other way to make this work other than using the Ultimate Category Excluder?

Hmm…. Yeah, duh. I guess it’s not a theme issue. Sorry about that. I’ll take a look at all of my settings and see if I can’t figure it out.

Here ya go: https://www.urbanbombshells.com/index.zip

I did make a few changes in the index.php file. I’m not new to coding, just to WordPress (though I’m not super familiar with PHP). I really just moved some code around (like the footer of each post was at the top before and I moved it to the bottom) and changed the way the date appears. Then I just added images and changed some of the CSS. Other than that I haven’t done too much…definitely haven’t added any code or really changed any of the php stuff.

I double checked the Default WordPress theme and the Classic theme and both do the same thing.

I noticed that I don’t have the archive.php file either so according to the hierarchy it’s defaulting to the index.php. Would you like to take a look at my index.php file? I can zip it and post a link if you’d like.

Thanks again for your help, I really do appreciate it!

I added that and it still shows all posts instead of just that category’s posts. ??

Yikes, yeah it works fine when I switch themes. Is there any harm in taking that line out, do you think?

I found the Category Template page which might help, but if there’s an easy answer for what to put in the category.php file, I’d appreciate it. Thanks again! ??

I am using Sodelicious Black theme (https://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/4410/sodelicious-black-10/)

I think the problem is that I don’t have a category.php file, at least there’s not one listed in my theme folder. How would I go about creating one? I tried to do a search, but didn’t find anything that told me how to create a new one.

Does this theme that I chose just suck??

Thanks for your help!

Ok I feel really dumb. Where can I find this? I looked and am not seeing it anywhere…is that my problem? I’m still fairly new at WordPress, so please excuse my stupidity.. :-/
