Magento 2 Static Blocks dont show up on category pages

Question

I'm trying to add static blocks on Category Pages and all category pages have different content. So, I add Blocks to the Backend

Category Page > Content > Add CMS Block

then,

Display Settings > Static Block Only

In some Category, i am able to see the blocks but in some, it doesn't show no matter what the settings are. I'm unable to verify the problem.

For e.g - I made 2 blocks for Categories X and Y. Selected appropriate blocks for both. Block shows up in X but not on Y. All the settings are same. Even same blocks doesn't work

I know this is an old question. But whoever checking on this, please check configuration scope as well.

If something else is saved for the store you are checking on and you are changing default values, nothing will happen. (like mine)

For those that can't find a resolution to this, I was pulling my hair out until I realised my static block was set to Disabled....
Content -> Blocks -> Select line and set Status to 'Enabled'

Worth mentioning maybe...

On the category page go to Display Settings and change the 'Display Mode' to 'Static Block and Products'.

Try to run:

php bin/magento indexer:reindex
php bin/magento cache:flush

EDIT:

Try adding them as widgets maybe it will work. Go into the admin to Content > Widgets > Add Widget. From there you can configure your widgets to appear on Specific/All categories:
