In this video, I'm going to show you how
0:02
you can create a new category on your
0:04
WordPress website. So, if you want just
0:07
create a new category or you already
0:08
have existing categories and you like to
0:10
add, it is pretty much simple. If you
0:13
find this video helpful, I'll kindly
0:14
request you support me by liking the
0:16
video and also subscribing to my
0:18
channel. All right, let's get into it.
0:20
Now, the first thing you need to do is
0:21
to go ahead and log into your WordPress
0:23
dashboard. And here I am on my WordPress
0:25
website dashboard. From here, go ahead
0:28
and hover over posts. And you can see
0:32
here, if you hover over posts, you'll
0:34
get various options such as all post,
0:37
add post, and categories. So, go ahead
0:40
and click on categories. And as you can
0:42
see here, we are under categories. Now,
0:45
from this, you'll be able to see all the
0:48
categories that you have already
0:49
created. And as you can see, I have
0:51
quite a number of categories that I'm
0:53
currently using on my website. But I
0:56
like to go ahead and create another
0:58
category. For instance, I want to create
1:00
a news category. To do that, it is
1:02
simple. Just head to this section called
1:04
add category. And give the name of the
1:07
category. For instance, maybe I want
1:08
this category to be called news. So I
1:11
just write news and choose whether you
1:13
want this category to be a standalone or
1:15
to be under another category. If you
1:18
want it to be under another category, go
1:20
ahead and choose the parent category. So
1:23
for instance, if I want it to be under
1:25
any of these, I'll go ahead and choose
1:27
one of these that I want to be the
1:29
parent category and then these will be
1:32
under it. So you can choose any and then
1:35
that will be the main category and under
1:37
it news will be the the smaller category
1:40
and it will follow that hierarchy. So
1:42
for my case I just want news to be a
1:44
category on its own. So I'll choose
1:47
none. Then you can leave the slang alone
1:50
because once you save the changes the
1:53
slang will adapt the name of the
1:55
category. And under description you can
1:57
go ahead and add a description if you so
2:00
wish. If you look here you can see I
2:02
have some categories that have
2:04
descriptions while others don't have.
2:06
There is no issue if you just leave this
2:09
description page just blank as it is.
2:12
Now once you're done go ahead and click
2:14
on add category and this will go ahead
2:17
and save the changes and then add the
2:19
new category that you have just created
2:21
here. Now you can see I have a new
2:24
category called news. So each and every
2:27
time I create a new post I will be able
2:30
to choose the category under which that
2:34
post or article will fall under. And now
2:36
you can see we have the slank. As I told
2:39
you, it will automatically pick the name
2:41
of the category. If you go ahead and
2:43
click on this category, you can make an
2:45
adjustment. If you misspelled or you
2:47
just want to change the name of the
2:48
category, you can as well make your
2:50
adjustments from here. Now, if I go
2:53
ahead and create a new post, for
2:55
instance, I've just opened a blank new
2:58
page where I want to create a post. I
3:01
can go ahead and enter my heading here
3:04
and then my body here. And before I just
3:06
post, I'll need to go ahead and choose
3:08
the category under which this new post
3:10
should fall under. Now, if I go under
3:12
categories here, you can see I have
3:14
quite a number of categories. And I have
3:16
the latest category, which is news. But
3:18
I can't see it. If you can see it, it
3:20
means you have to scroll down. And if I
3:23
scroll down now, you can see I have the
3:25
news here. So before I publish the new
3:27
article or the new post, I'll have to go
3:29
ahead and select the category. under
3:31
which I want the article to fall. So
3:34
that's how you create a new category on
3:36
your WordPress website. If you have any
3:38
other question, kindly let me know in
3:40
