A WordPress category is a broad label for grouping blog posts. Visitors click a category to redraw the blog and view only posts assigned to it. Categories organize blog content; they are not page topics or menu items. section 9.12 section 9.4
Set up and use categories with these practical steps:
- Create categories from Posts > Categories, or create one while editing a post. section 9.4
- Assign a category to a post from Posts > All Posts > Edit Post. section 9.4
- Use categories for broad topics, subcategories for narrower groupings, and tags for the most specific terms. section 9.4
Travel blog organization
A travel blog might use Cruise, Flight, and Car as categories; America, Europe, and Asia as subcategories; and cities such as Paris, Tokyo, or Sydney as tags. Visitors can click a category to see the matching posts without typing a search. section 9.4
