WordPress Starter Guide Part 3 : Create Categories

4th December 2014 Leave a Comment

WordPress logoCreate Categories

In the Posts > Categories tab, in the Add New Category area, fill in the information about your category. Continue to add your parent categories, going down the list. Hold off on entering subcategories until all the main categories are entered.

[themify_box style=”note light-blue rounded” ]You can add any new categories at any time, but make a note of the fact that categories can be sorted in WordPress in two ways: by name (alphabetically) or by ID number. As you enter the categories, they are assigned an ID number. It is difficult to change this, so if you don’t want your categories sorted alphabetically, enter them in the order you want to see them presented on the screen.[/themify_box]

Sub Categories

When you have the parent categories entered, enter your subcategories. In the pull down menu for Parent Category, you can select the parent to the subcategory you are adding. When you view your categories in the Manage > Categories Screen, you will see the categories listed like this:

Category 1

  • Sub-category 1-1
  • Sub-category 1-2
  • Sub-category 1-3

Category 2

  • Sub-category 2-1
  • Sub-category 2-2
  • Sub-category 2-3
