After creating a few additional categories, they aren't showing up to select when I create a new transaction. How do I get them to show up?

Hello there, thecuratedpalm.
 

It seems like the issue you're experiencing might be due to the categories you've created being hidden or deleted, or potentially hitting a limit on the number of categories you can add. To resolve this, let’s ensure the categories are marked as visible in your settings so they appear when you create a transaction.

 

Here's how to check and adjust the category visibility:
 

  1. Navigate to the Transactions tab and select the dropdown next to New transaction.
  2. In the dropdown menu, find and click on the Manage Categories option.
  3. Choose the appropriate Expense type.
  4. Locate the category and select the visibility icon to unhide them.
