For whichever you module you want to create a category for, hover over it in the WordPress Dashboard, left-hand menu.
When you hover you should see a categories link. Click on it.
2. Adding a category
It will all your current categories for that module type.
Here you can add a new one by filling in the name and selecting the parent category.
You don’t need to add a description or slug, but they will help your SEO.
A slug is a URL. For example category “Brand” might have the slug “brand-design”, which would look like lydiarosedesign.co.uk/brand-design
3. Editing a category
You can edit a category by finding the category you want to edit and click edit.
This will take you to the page, where you can fill in a description.
4. Removing a category
When you remove a category, it can not be undone, so make sure you really need to before clicking the button.
Hover over the one you wish to remove and click “Delete”.
