Creating categories keeps the forum tidy and makes it easier for everyone to find what they’re looking for. Here’s how you can set one up:

Go to the Dashboard
– Log in and look at the left-hand menu.
– Click on Posts → Categories.

Add a New Category
– Type the name of your new category (e.g. Tips & Tutorials).
– Add a short description if you like (this helps members know what belongs there).
– Choose a parent category if this belongs under a broader one (optional).
– Press Add New Category.

Use the Category
– When writing a new post, tick the box for the category you want.
– If you forget, you can always edit your post and add it later.

Tip: Keep category names simple and clear. For example: Photography, Painting, Writing, rather than long or complicated titles.
