How can subcategories be created in WordPress?

WordPress SEO benefits greatly from categories because they can both organize the content and establish a suitable, semantically sound web structure. The categories for our WordPress content may already be present. We'll outline a quick way to add subcategories to WordPress in this article.

The parent category and its child category are not required to be used when filing a post. If we submit the post under the child category as opposed to the parent category, it will only show up on the archive pages of the child category.

The steps to take are as follows:

1. The sidebar can be viewed by first selecting the gear icon in the top right corner of the WordPress Dashboard.

2. Right-click on the Post panel and select the Categories tab. The different categories that are already present are obvious.

3. To make a new category, all you have to do is click the "Add New Category" link.

4. These are known as the "New Category Name" and the "Parent Category" fields, respectively. For a regular category, there is nothing from the Parent Category dropdown menu that needs to be chosen. Once the category name has been entered, merely click the "Add New Category" button.

5. Subcategories, on the other hand, should be named using the 'New Category Name' option.

6. Then, from the drop-down list labeled "Parent Category," choose the category you want to serve as the parent.

7. To finish the process, click the "Add New Category" button.

This is how subcategories are created in WordPress. Alternatively, we can go to Posts » Categories and add child categories there. Type the name of the child category into the text box, then select the parent category from the drop-down menu.
