Category Settings
Setting categories is a way of classifying and grouping entries that share similar topics. Adjusting the category to reflect the contents of the entry makes it easier to search for past entries.
To add a category, type in the name of the category you want to add into the Add Category form and click Add.
By designating the insert position, you can place the new category into the middle of an existing list. If no position is designated the new category will automatically be moved to the bottom of the list.
You can also add a new category directly from the entry edit screen.
Clicking on the (#) will display the category number, which is the order that categories are displayed in.
By clicking on the
symbol the RSS for every category will be displayed in a separate window.
This will show as the order of the category list for the plugin.
Entries belonging to a deleted category will not be deleted.
*Unclassified categories cannot be deleted, please change the name before deleting them.
E.g.
Sports (10) < Total of entries for sub categories. - e.g. 5 + 2 + 3 = 10
►Baseball (2)
►Soccer (3)
In the example Sports is the parent category and Soccer and Baseball are the sub-categories.
The sub category entries will also be displayed when the Sports category page is opened (blog-category-XX.html).
(*Changes will not be set until the Revise button is clicked)
If a category is not marked as a sub category it will automatically become a parent category.
Sub categories will belong to the nearest parent category that is above it on the list. Clicking on the up / down arrows allows you to move sub categories to other parent categories.
