Category
The ‘category’ taxonomy allows you to group posts by sorting them into various categories. These categories can be accessed on your site using URLs like ‘/category/name’.
Adding Categories
- Navigate to Categories:
- Go to the Posts tab and click on the Categories link.
- Click Add a New Category and fill in the information about your category.
- Add your parent categories first, one by one. Hold off on entering sub-categories until all the main categories are entered.
- Note on Sorting:
- You can add new categories at any time. However, be aware that categories in WordPress can be sorted in two ways: by name (alphabetically) or by ID number.
- As you enter categories, they are assigned an ID number. Changing this order later can be difficult, so if you prefer a specific order, enter them accordingly.
Managing Categories
- Enter Sub-Categories:
- Once your parent categories are entered, you can add sub-categories.
- In the Parent Category dropdown menu, select the parent category for the sub-category you are adding.
- When you view your categories in the Manage > Categories panel, you will see them listed in a hierarchical structure.
