WordPress Categories #
WordPress categories are basic ways for you to organize your posts into different categories, such as topics.
For example, when writing a post, think of the wider topic of the post. If you plan to write more posts about this topic in the future, you’ll probably want to group these posts together.
From the post editor page, find the Categories box.
Category Slug #
The Category Slug is the URL-friendly version of the category. It is usually all lowercase and contains only letters, numbers, and hyphens.
Category Hierarchies #
Categories, unlike tags, can be nested into hierarchies. For example, you might have a Jazz category and, under that, have children categories for Bebop and Big Band.
Category Description #
The description section is a place for you to add more details about the posts assigned to that category. Some WordPress themes may show this information.
