In this tutorial I will show you how to create categories and add them to your posts.
Create categories
- Log into your WordPress website
- Click on the 'Posts' tab.
- Click on 'Categories'.
- Scroll down and input the name of the category in the 'Name' field.
- Click the 'Add New Category' button.
Assign categories to a post
- Click on the 'Posts' tab.
- Select the post you want to edit.
- Assign the categories to the post by checking the box next to the categories in the 'Categories' section.
- Click the 'Publish' or 'Submit' button to save the changes.
Add a category to your nav menu
You can add a category to your nav menu so that whenever a visitor clicks on the category link, they will see a list of all the posts for that particular category.
- Click on the 'Appearance' tab.
- Click the 'Menus' option.
- Check the box next to a category in the 'Categories' section.
- Click the 'Add to Menu' button. Notice how the category you selected became a menu item in the menu section on the right side of your screen.
- Drag the menu item around with your mouse so that it appears in the right order within your menu and click the 'Save Menu' button.
