Can a WordPress Post Have Multiple Categories?

So, can a WordPress post have multiple categories?

Short answer: yes.

Long answer:

There is no hard and fast rule about how many categories a WordPress post can have, but generally speaking, you can add as many as you want.

However, there are a few caveats to keep in mind.

First, if you add more categories than your site’s taxonomy can handle (i.e.

your site has a maximum of 10,000 categories), your posts will start to show up in the wrong categories.

Second, if you try to add a new category to a post that already has categories assigned to it, WordPress will create a new category for the post, and automatically add it to the post’s category list.

Finally, it’s important to note that not all categories are created equal.

Posts with more popular categories (i.

those with more views or comments) will generally have more category tags assigned to them, while less popular categories will typically have fewer tags.

So, if you’re looking to add more categories to a post, it’s a good idea to start with the more popular tags first, and work your way down to the less popular tags.

In the end, it’s up to you how many categories you want to add to a WordPress post. As long as you keep these three tips in mind, you should be able to add as many as you’d like.
