Categories and tags are tools that can be used for organizing posts based on topic. Each category or tag created automatically generates a custom blogroll archive page for itself, on which all posts that contain that category or tag will be displayed. These can be a good way of organizing different types of articles on your site.
Categories
- Categories are used to group posts by topic.
- Categories should be self-explanatory.
- Categories are hierarchical, meaning that categories can have sub-categories.
- All posts should be categorized for optimal site organization and SEO.
Tags
- Tags are a way of identifying topics of a post in a more specific way than categories.
- Posts can contain as many tags as you’d like.
Managing Categories & Tags
- From the site dashboard, find the “Posts” section, and hover over it until a sub-menu pops up.
- Click on either “Tags” or “Categories” in the sub-menu, depending which you intend to manage (process is the same for both) to open the Categories / Tags management page.
- Add a Category or Tag
- On the left side of the page, complete the form to add a new Category or Tag, and click the blue button beneath the form to save it.
- Edit or Delete a Category or Tag
- On the right side of the page, there is a table listing all Categories or Tags for the site.
- Hover the mouse over the row of the one you wish to edit, and action links will appear beneath the Category or Tag name.
- To delete a Category or Tag, click the “Delete” action link.
- To edit a Category or Tag, click the “Edit” action link to be taken to the edit form.
