WordPress Support/Categories

Everybody has problems with something new, don't we? Lets look at what WordPress Support is. WordPress is a powerful personal publishing platform. It has features designed to make your publishing as pleasant as possible. There are many options you can add to your site like pages, posts, and categories. You can upload photos and files and covert character smileys into graphical image counterparts. Do you need WordPress support about categories? Well, lets discuss this.

Categories can group related posts together and to let readers see what the post is about. It also can make it easier for readers to find your content. A great asset is that you can have multiple categories per post. Categories can be displayed in the sidebar or on the top or bottom of the post, depending on the theme. If you add tags and categories to your post you increase the odds that other WordPress users may see your content on the global tag listings.

The difference between categories and tags.

Imagine a book. When you open one up you come across the table of contents. In this example, the contents will be your categories. In the back of the book, you may have the index, which in Professional WordPress Help is the tags. These tags are a hyperlink to related information.

Now let's say you want to add a category.

This is what you want to do. Click on categories and click add. A box will open that will have

Category name: the name of the category.

Category parent: What this is, you have an opportunity to add a category within a category. Lets say the category is grills, and you want to add another category like Brinkman grills. Add Brinkman grills under the parent category grills. If you don't have a parent select none.

When your done, click add category within the box.

In your dashboard, the categories will be displayed. Move your mouse over the that area and you will notice that Edit, Quick Edit, Delete will pop up. If you click on Quick Edit a box will open and you can edit the name of the category. Click on Edit and you can change the name, parent, and description.

Do you want to have tags? Well you can convert categories into tags by using the converter and WordPress Development Company At the bottom of the manage categories screen is a link to the category to tag converter.

Building sites is a fun way to advertise what you have or anything you want to say. There are a lot of other options you can have on your site. Just remember the difference between categories and tags. Categories are the contents and the tags are the index. Categories can stand on their own or have a parent category.
