Categories

The Blog Categories feature is designed to help bloggers and webmasters organize and manage blog content more efficiently. By creating specific categories, users can group articles into different topics, making it easier for readers to browse and search for content of interest. Additionally, optimized classification settings can also improve the SEO performance of the website.

Add New Category

Categories can be set as top-level or sub-categories. You'll be able to set the URL, SEO title, and SEO description of the category page.

Create subcategories

1. Go to the "Add New Category" page: Click the "Add New Category" button in the upper right corner of the "Categories" page.
2. Select the parent category: Select the parent category where you want to create the subcategory in the "Category level" field.
3. Fill in the subcategory information: Fill in the name, description, and URL of the subcategory.
4. Save the subcategory: Click the "Add" button to save the subcategory.

The URL of the sub-category should be prefixed with the URL of the parent category, for example: the parent category URL is /seo and the sub-category URL is /seo/sub-category.
