<?php $this->load->view('admin/footer'); ?>

i even tried this code

 <?php if($this->session->flashdata('success') != ""){ ?>
             <div class="alert alert-success"><?php echo $this->session->flashdata('success'); ?></div>
             <?php } ?>

but that didnt work too

Update
as dontpanic said i have updated my code
Category.php(controller)

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Category extends CI_Controller {

   
    //this method will show category list page
    public function index()
    {
     $this->load->view('admin/category/list');
    }
    
    //this method will show create category page
    public function create()
    {
     $this->load->model('Category_model');
     $this->load->library('form_validation');
      $this->form_validation->set_error_delimiters(' <p class="text-danger">','</p>');
      $this->form_validation->set_rules('name','Name','trim|required');

      if($this->form_validation->run() == true){
          //will check category in database
          $formArray['name'] = $this->input->post('name');
          $formArray['status'] = $this->input->post('status');
          $formArray['created_at'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
          $this->Category_model->create($formArray);
          
          $this->session->flashdata('success','Category added successfully');
          redirect (base_url().'admin/category/index');
          
      }else{
          //Will show errors
          $this->load->view('admin/category/create');  
      }
    
    // $this->load->view('admin/category/create');  
    }
    
   //this method will show edit category page
    public function edit()
    {
        
    }
    
    //this method will will  delete a category 
    public function delete()
    {
        
    }
}

Category_model.php (model)

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Category_model extends CI_Model {
    
    public function create($formArray){
      $this->db->insert('categories',$formArray);
    
  }
   
}

    The if condition validates the flashdata message action as true and would be visible in the view after the redirection, therefore the code would be like this

    <?php if($this->session->flashdata('success')): ?>

        <div class="alert alert-success">
        <?php echo $this->session->flashdata('success'); ?>
      </div>

<?php endif; ?>

    The problem seems to be how you set your CodeIgniter flashdata In your Category.php controller, instead of using

    $this->session->flashdata('success', 'Category added successfully');

    try using this

    $this->session->set_flashdata('success', 'Category added successfully');

    and then in the view file use flashdata to retrieve and display flash data
