How to add Category | Hexainclude

WodPress allows writing post to be displayed on the pages.
By default post are uncategorized means they do not belong to any specific category.
We can categorize posts to organize properly.
Categorized post provides finer control to handle posts based on different criteria and to meet different needs.
It also helps to navigate on to different posts easily.
Say for example, we have three different categories such as “Laptop”,” Camera” and “Mobile”.
So all the post belongs to Laptop will be put inside the “Laptop”
Similarly, every post related to Camera belongs to the “Camera” category and so on.
A single post can also belong to multiple categories if required.
In short organizing your posts into different categories can save you from a great hassle.
