❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. Q: Can I create subcategories or multiple levels?

    A: Yes. When creating or editing a category, you can select a "Parent Category" to build a hierarchical structure.

  2. Q: Does changing a category's "URL Slug" affect published posts?

    A: Changing the slug updates the URL of the category page itself. It is best to finalize slugs during setup to avoid broken links or SEO loss.

  3. Q: Can a single post belong to multiple categories?

    A: Yes. In the post's publish settings, you can check multiple categories, allowing your content to be discovered across different topics.
