How do I categorize a page?

  • My default WP install doesn’t allow me to categorize pages, like I can with posts. Is there a setting somewhere to allow me to see the check boxes?

  • Pages do not have categories, but “Page Parents” – in other words, they can be subpages of other pages, which is similar to a category anyway. Use the drop-down box to assign to a particular page.

    Well, when I am editing a page, the preview area says it’s in the Uncategorized category. See here.

    Don’t use the template tag the_category() for Page template. Pages are not meant to be categorized in WP; thus, the lack of support of Page category.

    How do I “Don’t use the template tag the_category() for Page template”?

    It is uncategorized, as it should be, because it is not a post and does not belong in a category. If it were categorized the page post sontent would show up in your categories.

    Just pay attention to “Page Parent” and think of that as the “category” it is under.
