Categories group your blog posts into a few durable topics, like "Hiring advice", "Company news" or "Industry trends". A post's category is shown as a label on its card on the public blog, giving readers context at a glance. Each post can belong to one category, or to none.
Create a category
In the sidebar, open Content and click Blog categories.
Click Add blog category.
Enter a Name. This is what readers see, so keep it short and plain, like "Career advice".
Check the Path field. It auto-fills from the name (lowercase, hyphens between words) and stops auto-updating once you edit it yourself. Only lowercase letters, numbers and single hyphens are allowed, and it must start and end with a letter or number.
Leave Active on so the category is usable right away.
Click Add blog category.
You should see a "Blog category saved" confirmation, and you land on the category's edit page. The new category now appears in the list and in the Category dropdown of the blog post form.
Assign posts to a category
In the sidebar, open Content and click Posts.
Open a post (or click Add blog post for a new one).
Under Optional Settings, use the Category dropdown to pick one, or choose No category.
Save the post.
Only active categories appear in that dropdown. If you just created a category in another tab and don't see it, click the refresh icon next to the picker; it reloads the options without touching your draft.
Hide a category without deleting it
Every category has an Active switch on its edit page: "Inactive categories are hidden from your blog but kept in the database." Turning a category off hides its label on the public blog and removes it from the post form's picker, but nothing is lost; the posts themselves stay published. Turn it back on any time.
The list page shows each category's status as an Active or Inactive badge, along with its path and created and last-update dates.
How categories appear on your board
On the public blog index, a post's category shows as a small label on its card, next to the title and cover. On the post page itself, the category name appears in the post's meta line together with the publish date. Visitors use these labels to understand what kind of content they're looking at; that's why a small set of clearly named categories beats a long, granular one.
Find categories in the list
The Blog categories page lists every category with its Name, Path, Created and Last update dates, and an Active or Inactive status badge. Click a name to open its edit page. Once you have more than a handful:
Use the search box at the top to filter by text.
Use the sort button (top right of the search bar) to order by Name, Created, or Last update, ascending or descending.
Delete a category
On the Blog categories page, open the row menu on the right of a category and click Delete, or tick the checkboxes of several categories and click the Delete button that appears above the table.
Confirm in the dialog.
You should see a "Category deleted" confirmation and the row disappears. Deleting a category does not delete its posts: they stay published and simply become uncategorized. If you meant to retire a topic but keep the grouping for old posts, prefer the Active switch instead.
Naming tips
Aim for 3 to 6 categories total. Categories work best as a small, stable set; use post titles and content for the specifics.
If two categories share the same path, saving fails with "A category with this path already exists." Adjust the path and save again.
The path is part of your content's structure, so set it once and leave it alone, just like post paths.
Renaming is safe: on the edit page, changing the Name never rewrites the Path, so you can fix a typo in the visible label without breaking anything. The auto-slug behavior only applies while creating.
While you edit, the "Unsaved changes" bar appears at the top of the dashboard with Discard and Save; the Cancel button under the form takes you back without saving.
