Only posts out of specific categories shall be displayed in a sitepage. Now all categories results are coming.. I tried to filter by category ID or name, but no success.

For your requirement, you can do as the followings:
1. Go to SharePoint Admin Center->Search->manage search schema
2. Find a free RefinableStringXX managed property like RefinableString00
3. Map ows_PostCategory into it:

  1. Wait for the online search crawl, maybe you need to wait for 24hrs

  2. Go to the Content Search web part, then you can set the query string like:

    path:"http://xxx/Blog/Lists/Posts" contentclass=STS_ListItem_Posts -RefinableString00: yourcategory enter image description here

  • it should be your managed property which is mapped to ows_PostCategory(RefinableString00) instead of CustomPostCategory that I just used to test. I updated my answer.
