WordPress Post Category
In WordPress, a Category is a label which can be applied to WordPress Posts.
Contents
Description
Each Post is filed under one or more Categories.
Categories allow the classification of your Posts into groups and subgroups, thereby aiding viewers in the navigation and use of your site.
Each Category may be assigned to a Category Parent so that you may set up a hierarchy within the category structure. Using automobiles as an example, a hierarchy might be Car->Ford->Mustang. In creating categories, recognize that each category name must be unique, regardless of hierarchy.
When using the WordPress Twenty Sixteen WordPress theme, all the Categories to which a given post belongs are displayed under that post. When someone viewing your blog clicks on one of those Category links, a archive page with all the Posts belonging to that Category will be displayed.
Posts Categories Screen
The Posts Categories screen allows you to add, edit, and delete Categories, as well as organize your categories hierarchically. Multiple Categories can be selected for deletion. A search option allows you to find the Categories you want to edit or delete.
Posts Add News Screen
Categories can also be added in the Posts Add New screen.
