How do I create and manage blog categories?

Categories group your articles by topic (for example "Tips for couples" or "News"). On the blog, visitors can filter articles by category. Every article must belong to a category, so it's a good idea to create your categories before your first article.

Create a category

1. In the left menu, open Blog Management → Blog categories.
2. Fill in the form on the left:
   • Title – the category name, shown on the blog;
   • Slug – the part of the address (for example tips-for-couples). Leave it empty to generate it automatically from the title;
   • Icon – optional, a Font Awesome icon shown next to the name (for example fa fa-heart);
   • Language – the language the category's articles are written in (for example English);
   • Short Description – optional, a sentence about what readers will find in the category;
   • Status – leave Active ticked so it's visible on the blog.
3. Click Add Category. You'll see the message Category has been added.

Edit or delete a category

Your categories appear in the table on the right, with their icon, description and language. The green dot in front of the name shows they're active. Click ⋯ next to a category and choose Edit (change the title, slug, icon, language, description or status) or Delete.

Good to know: deactivating a category (unticking Active) hides it from the blog without deleting it. Before deleting a category, move its articles to another category.
