Categories are a nifty tool that allows you to group news and events entries into subjects so that visitors can easily find what they’re looking for. Let’s take a look at how to edit, update, and remove categories.

To create a new category, click on the new category button in the top right-hand corner. The drop-down to the right of the button also allows you to select which entry type the category is for.

Next, it’s time to give the category a title for how you would like it to appear on your website. Before moving on, double-check that you’re happy with the URL’s slug that has been automatically generated.

If you decide that you’d like to delete a category, select the checkbox beside it, then either change its status to disabled or remove it completely, which can be done by clicking settings and then selecting delete.

When editing a news or events entry, the option to add your entry to a category will appear under the page title text box. If you would like to apply a category, click this button and then select the relevant category from the list of pop-up options that will appear.
