How Do I Add a Category in WordPress?

Adding a category in WordPress is a simple process. First, open the WordPress admin area and navigate to the “Categories” menu item.

On the Categories screen, you will see a list of all the categories currently installed on your WordPress site. To add a new category, click the “Add New Category” button.

In the “Add New Category” screen, you will need to provide a name for your new category, as well as a description. You can also provide a category slug (the unique identifier for your category) and a parent category.

You can also choose to create a custom taxonomy for your category, if you wish.

Once you have completed the “Add New Category” screen, your new category will be available for use on your site. To add a post to your new category, simply click the “Add New Post” button located under the category’s name on the Posts screen.
