Thank you for reaching out to us. I hope you’re doing well.
WordPress actually counts with the particular feature to customize that. On the “Appearance > Menus” page you have to click on the “Screen Options” button at the top right of the screen. Then you can enable or disable which things you want to have for menus. You should click on “Article Categories” and then you should be able to see them on the menu creation form.

Thank you for the follow-up. The original question was related to menu items, but your reply is related to shortcodes. Is the original question resolved?
With regards to shortcodes, can I have your site access details in a private reply so I can take a look at how you’re including it?

Thank you for the follow-up and the access details. Regarding the article categories in the navigation menus screen, I can see it there: https://cloudup.com/csNy2Mr7jQd
With regards to the shortcode for the knowledgebase, the shortcode appears to be ok. Are you using any plugin that may be conflicting with the theme data structure?

Thank you for the follow-up. The [nicethemes_knowledgebase] shortcode is not displaying content because it is being used with a category that only has articles. It needs to have sub-categories to display categorized articles.
If you need to list the articles of a certain category you should use the automatic article category page. For that, you can go to “Articles > Categories”, then click “View” on the category you want. For example: https://databaseinaction.com/article-category/rac/
If you wish to have the knowledgebase layout and show only some categories, you could also use the “exclude” parameter. Works the same way as the category, the only difference is that when using it, you’re excluding categories.
[nicethemes_knowledgebase exclude=1,2,3]
In the previous example you’re excluding article categories with ID 1, 2 and 3

Thank you for the follow-up.
If I visit your site I see that you are excluding categories for the Postgres and then leaving the Postgres category. But it is empty, it doesn’t have any article. If an article category is empty, it doesn’t display.
For the Oracle category I see different articles listed.
Please let me know how it goes.
Best,
Juan.
