Categories are used to organize posts into a hierarchical structure, allowing you to group related content and create clear navigation paths for your blog.
Unlike tags, which describe specific topics, categories define the broader sections of your content.
Hierarchy & Organization
Categories can be arranged in a tree structure, meaning you can create:
- Parent categories (e.g., Technology)
- Subcategories (e.g., Software, Hardware)
- Nested structures for more complex blogs
This helps visitors browse content more easily and improves SEO by creating meaningful content groupings.
Drag‑and‑Drop Management
You can reorder and reorganize categories using drag and drop:
- Move a category up or down
- Nest a category under another
- Restructure your entire category tree at any time
Changes are applied instantly and reflected across all posts using those categories.
Assigning Categories to Posts
When editing a post, you can:
- Select one or multiple categories
- Create new categories directly from the post editor
- Manage categories separately from the Categories page
This makes it easy to keep your content organized as your site grows.
