WordPress-How to Set Up Custom Categories for Posts
- Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
- Go to Posts > Categories.
- Add New Category:
- Name: Enter the name of your category.
- Slug: This is the URL-friendly version of the name. It’s usually all lowercase and contains only letters, numbers, and hyphens.
- Parent Category: If you want to set up a hierarchy, you can choose a parent category here.
- Description: This is optional but can be useful for describing what the category is about.
- Click Add New Category to save.
- Assign Posts to Categories:
- When writing or editing a post, you’ll see a Categories box on the right side.
- Check the boxes next to the categories you want to assign the post to, or add a new category directly from the post editor.
