Struggling with /categories/ link

$

Hi! I’m struggling with the list of posts shown under my categories link, like this: https://chrisandlisa1.wordpress.com/category/running/. I suspect there’s something simple that I’ve done wrong, but have not been able to figure out what.

I’ve added a Categories block at the end of my post (for example: https://chrisandlisa1.wordpress.com/2024/01/23/the-case-for-the-race-day-theme-song/), hoping that the link for this category would take me to a page showing all my other posts in the same category. The link takes me to https://chrisandlisa1.wordpress.com/category/running/, as expected. However, this page includes all posts from all categories in my site (so far, I only have 2 categories). Same thing happens with a tags block – takes me to https://chrisandlisa1.wordpress.com/tag/music/, but that page lists all of the posts in my site.

I can also add a Categories List block, which will correctly show the post counts per category, but same problem that the target of the link includes all of my posts.

I saw some other helpful articles in this forum suggesting to change the toggle for ‘inherit query from template’ in my template editor, but could not figure that out. I found the ‘single posts’ template and tried to edit that, but I did not see a query loop block to edit in that template. I’m not sure that’s actually my issue, though. It seems more likely that I’ve mismanaged my categories & tags some how because pages like https://chrisandlisa1.wordpress.com/category/running/ include all posts, not just the posts in the ‘running’ category.

Thanks for your help!
