I don't use menus that simply display all posts from one category as one can do using a custom menu (to be created via the Dashboard > Appearance > Menus). Instead, I use pages with a "custom Template" that displays such post with futher flexibility.

- Create a new "Page Template" (a php file) named "page-of-post.php" and save that one into the root folder of your theme if not yet available: \\<YourSynology>\web\wordpress\wp-content\themes\<YourTheme>\
- In this page Template, you should have the code provided at the bottom of this post.
- Go to the "Dashboard" > "Pages", and click "Add New" to create a blank page.
- Type a name for your page. This name will be displayed in the menu (Header).
- In the "Page Attributes" pane, select "Page of Post" as a "Template" for the new page.
- Publish the page
- Add now that page to the Custom Menu (via the Dashboard > Appearance > Menus).
- Finally, possibly create one "Category Sticky" post which will stay at the bottom of the page and introduce the topic (E.g.: when creating a post, add a category in the "Category Sticky" pane made available via the Plugin "Category Sticky Posts" 0.13 of Brian Zeligson)
Here is the code of the page Template. Pay attention that I am using the theme 'twentyeleven':
<?php /* Template Name: Page Of Posts */ // if you are not using this in a child of Twenty Eleven, you need to replicate the html structure of your own theme. get_header(); ?> <div id="primary"> <div id="content" role="main"> <?php $slug = basename(get_permalink()); $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; $args= array( 'category_name' => $slug, // Change these category SLUGS to suit your use. Ex.: "categ1, categ2" 'paged' => $paged ); query_posts($args); $category = get_category_by_slug($slug); if(empty($category)) $name = $slug; else $name = $category->name; if( have_posts() ) :?> <?php twentyeleven_content_nav( 'nav-above' ); ?> <?php /* Start the Loop */ ?> <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> <?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php twentyeleven_content_nav( 'nav-below' ); ?> <?php else : ?> <article id="post-0" class="post no-results not-found"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"><?php _e( 'Nothing Found in the Category "'.$name.'"', 'twentyeleven' ); ?></h1> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="entry-content"> <p><?php _e( 'Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.', 'twentyeleven' ); ?></p> <?php get_search_form(); ?> </div><!-- .entry-content --> </article><!-- #post-0 --> <?php endif; ?> </div><!-- #content --> </div><!-- #primary --> <?php get_sidebar(); ?> <?php get_footer(); ?>
