How to Add Categories and Tags in WordPress
To add categories or tags, simply open an existing post. To the right-hand side, you will see categories and also tags. To add categories, click the add new categories as shown below.
Another way around it is going through the post icon on your dashboard, then select categories or tags as shown below.
It is good I mention this, the number of required categories for your website is not static, it all depends on you. The categories on your website should not be less than three (3). Also, note that large blogs use subcategories, this helps them to further group their content. But for small businesses, they aren’t necessary. Categories, as I explained initially, are a good way of achieving a large grouping of content.
For tags, WordPress doesn’t set any limits for them. You can create as much as 20 tags or more for a post. Although you don’t have to flood your post with tags; the basic thing is to bear in mind that tags are like indexes for locating blog post.
Thanks for another great post. Something Someone brought up the question of categories and tags during Jay's training on Friday. Jay said it is better to only use categories and not bother with tags anymore. That in his opinion tags were something of the past. I guess visitors to sites are not using tags
