How Do I Add Categories and Subcategories in WordPress?

Adding Categories and Subcategories to your WordPress site is a relatively easy task. To start, first create a new category in your WordPress site.

To add a subcategory, simply add a hyphen (-) between the parent category and the subcategory you wish to create. For example, if you wanted to create a category called “Animals” and a subcategory called “Felines,” you would create the following:.

Animals-Felines

Once you have created your categories and subcategories, you will need to add them to your WordPress site’s content. To do this, open your WordPress site’s admin area and click on the “Categories” button. This will open the Categories screen, where you will find all of your categories and subcategories listed. Simply click on the category you wish to add a post to, and then click on the “Add a post” button.

This will open the Add Post screen, where you can add the post content. Click on the “Categories” tab at the top of the screen to return to the Categories screen, where you will now find the newly added category listed.
