When I add categories to chart of accounts for the profit and loss statement they don’t appear as a choice. What am I doing wrong! Thanks! ---

By categories, do you mean accounts? Provide a screenshot for category creation. Also where do you expect these categories to appear? Show a screenshot where they should appear. ---

When adding a new journal entry my new accounts don’t appear only the ones that were set up already. It is strange that they appear on the profit and loss statement. ---

You need to post a screen shot of your chart of accounts from Settings. ---

In bold you have groups. And you cannot post an entry to a group. ---
