Step-by-step guide

  1. Name: The name of your category, how it appears on your site. For example Real Estate.
  2. Slug: The “slug” is the URL-friendly version of the name. It is usually all lowercase and contains only letters, numbers, and hyphens. (Ex. real-estate)
  3. Parent Category: Assign a parent term to create a hierarchy. For example, Real Estate would be the parent term for Condos/Lofts, House For Sale
