<strong>WordPress</strong> Categories<br />

<strong>WordPress</strong> categories are basic ways for you to organize<br />

your posts into different categories, such as topics.<br />

For example, when writing a post, think of the wider topic<br />

of the post. If you plan to write more posts about this<br />

topic in the future, you’ll probably want to group these<br />

posts together.<br />

From the post editor page, find the Categories box.<br />

Adding a New Category<br />

If you don’t have any categories yet, click the + Add new<br />

category link. Add a new category and click Add new<br />

category. You’ll then see your new category has been<br />

added to the list of categories.<br />

To assign a category to a post, click the checkbox next to<br />

the category.<br />

Another way to manage post categories is through<br />

the Posts > Categories link in the <strong>WordPress</strong> dashboard<br />

navigation menu. Clicking the Categories link will display<br />

the Categories page. From here, you can see all your<br />

categories on the right, and where to add new ones.<br />
