Add Individual Categories to Menu

Now we are going to list all the individual categories as sub-menus under the Categories menu item.

Under Add Menu Items, select Categories.

Clicking on Categories will produce a list of all the categories.

Click the Select All checkbox and then the Add to Menu button.

Then simply click and drag the individual categories as sub-menus under the Categories menu (in whatever order you want).

This will then appear on your website’s header menu as a category list that your visitor can click on to see all of your posts that have that category.

Select Beginners Affiliate Marketing, for example.

This will show all the blog posts that share the selected category.

One of the great features of this is that it’s all automatically updated as you create new blog posts using existing categories.

Of course, if you create a new category, you will need to add it as a sub-menu.

But it’s a great way to add really useful navigation for your visitors to explore your website.

I'm not sure when this was posted, should we still be adding tags to every post?, or is this out of date?

I add multiple (relevant) tags and categories to every post. Why would you not?

I only asked because in your training post you said tags may have become redundant or ignored by Google, and I was not sure how old the post was. I see some videos in WA from 2012 which are well obsolete, I will use categories and tags - thanks

I use categories to group related posts together in a menu. It's certainly possible that categories have become less relevant as Google moves towards content quality and value but as they are unlikely to do any harm and it takes only a few seconds to add them, I continue to do so.
