Adding a new category to your main menu

To achieve this first you need to create the category.

Under posts there is a categories menu.

Click on this and add the new category.

In this case it is 'review'

Click on add new category.

Then go to the posts menu and hover over the post you want to change category.

Click on quick edit

Click on the new category and untick the old category - posts are only meant to be in one category on your site.

Click on update.

Goto appearance => menu

And edit your main menu

Click on the down arrow by he categories.

If you don't see your new category ( which you won't if there are no posts assigned to it)

Click on the view all.

Select your new category and add to your menu

Save the menu

Then goto review your site.

Your new menu item will be shown and clicking on it will take you to a page with all of the posts in that category shown.

I hope this has helped you add a new category, update your posts, add a new menu item and show your new category posts on your site.

Thanks for taking the time to watch the video.

This helped a lot. I have a question and I am sure that you have been asked this before . . .

If I have 22 posts - how many categories should I have? Yes, my website is in relation to Beauty?

Hey Petra, Glad the training helped.
the number of categories will depend on your niche, but i would limit the main menu to 5 or 6 items.
You can add submenus to each of these.
so if you pick a major topic in beauty and have this as the main menu item.
you then pick topics within that topic and add them under the main menu item.
all of the posts would be added to these sub menus.
i wouldn't go much deeper than 2 menus before your vistor hits the posts as they will get bored of it and jump off to another site.

main menu 1
---> sub menu
---->post
---->post
---> sub menu
---->post
---->post
---> sub menu
---->post
---->post
main menu 2
---> sub menu
---->post
---->post
---> sub menu
---->post
---->post
---> sub menu
---->post
---->post
I hope this helps Petra- if you have any further wuestions please don't hesitate to ask.
