Parent menu item does not display posts when I add the sub-items

Question

I have created 3 categories; Europe (as a parent category) and then I have two sub-categories Croatia and Wales.

In Dashboard > Appearance > Menu I when I only add the category Europe as a menu item, all posts tagged with this category are shown correctly.

However, when I then add the two sub-categories underneath it (to effectively create a drop down) the page Europe will not show any posts.

Why is this happening and is it possible to fix via the admin panel?

You mean posts are not being shown where? Give an example, maybe a screenshot would help. — filipecsweb, Commented May 26, 2019 at 18:52

First, really stupid question: Do you save your new menu after making the changes? Sometimes it's the little things that mess everything up.

Aside from that, it might be a theme problem. Change to one of WordPress default themes (Twenty XYZ series) and see if the problem persists.

Of course I am saving it! It just doesn’t seem to load the posts for some reason. Which is very strange.

Have you tried switching themes?
