Nice, I should probably add categories to my page more. I have a bunch of topics that build on other topics that people may or may not be interested in at any given time.

[@wplearninglab]

Categories, tags and internal linking can all help you with alerting your visitors to similar or related topics. I don't need you need to use all of those all the time. If you're going to focus on, make it internal linking. That one has the biggest effect on your SEO.

[@Electronzap]

@@wplearninglab I did notice earlier today, that pages where I do a bunch of quick intros to a related group of circuits, plus a simplified image, and adding a button link to a more detailed page next to each circuit, and then a return button link to the main page, are doing a lot better than other pages I made around the same time. My theme has 1 side bar, which I use a menu generating plugin to arrange whatever links I want down the side bar. I like when I can scroll down a link of topics a website has pages for, so I figure it will help my site get more activity. Tags have always been confusing to me, I don't know how to add them, other than I think Yoast SEO has a spot to enter text into.

[@wplearninglab]

Tags can be pretty confusing and I don't know how effective they really are. But your short intros to other posts sound like they're effective. I always say do more of what's working and less of what isn't. You're interlinking is probably increasing pageviews of those pages and time on site. It might be interesting to check your analytics to see if as the pageviews have gone up on those pages of search traffic from Google has gone up for those pages in response.

[@Electronzap]

@@wplearninglab Thanks for the tips :) I'm working on being more patient and giving things many months to show how effective they are. I had a big problem with scrapping everything when I put a lot of work into it, and it didn't pay off right away. Feedback comes a last faster with KZbin videos, so I put 80% effort into making new videos, and 20% effort into making web pages that compliment those videos.

[@wplearninglab]

@@Electronzap I'm guilty of the same problem. I don't even remember the last time I made a blog post to go with a video 😢

[@Leonardo_No_Cardio]

Dear Sir , thank you for this. Please just one opinion. Do you think Elementor or WP Bakery is better and for what readon? Thank you

[@wplearninglab]

I think Elementor is, but I also haven't used WPBakery in quite a while, so maybe they've mate significant improvements. Elementor had way more more third-party plugins, way more help tutorials, way more development of new features.

[@avigarg7859]

I am facing a problem where category, uploading image sections are available only in some posts. How to solve this

[@wplearninglab]

Do you mean you want to upload images to the category directly?

[@avigarg7859]

@@wplearninglab sir, i mean the side panel on right shows a category, and image section whenever you open a post right. on my website some posts have images some don't. can it be a Wordpress fault ?

[@LaurenMeredith-h7y]

Where was the part about editing and deleting categories?

[@user-jj9eh6nr4g]

such a waste of time

[@electrictrip2901]

I understand how to create the Categories and the purpose of them, but what if I want ALL my blog posts to show up on the Home Page (Along with having them in categories), how would that be done? I thought I found out how in the "Readings" section but it didn't work. Thank you!

[@stepbystepfarming2686]

Very informative. I have 3 categories. How do I add my posts to pages? The problem I have is if I add categories to my menu, my posts will be categorized but I'm unable to add a banner image. Is there a way to create a page and add posts that are categorized into the page?

[@RobCLynch]

I'm not sure if this will help but I found that creating a page in its own right served me well. I would then add a widget named Grid Post, which would pull through all of my posts. I could then set WHICH categories I wanted the grid to pull through, by amending which categories should be included or excluded. Hope that helps.

[@Kashifnasir89]

same problem

[@electrictrip2901]

@@RobCLynch Hey not sure if I understand your comment correctly, but lets say I create a few pages (Not categories). And lets say for my blog posts, I want certain posts to show up on certain pages only. Can what you explained in your comment accomplish that? Thanks

[@RobCLynch]

@@electrictrip2901 Yes I will try. You will be looking for a widget called post grid or something like that and let's say you had a page called Africa, you can pull through ALL posts about visiting Africa for example. The best thing to do is to find a theme that allows the post grid feature and look behind the scenes to see how it functions. That should then give you enough understanding that you can create your own post grid and how you can pull posts through by category etc

[@Anna-vk2kp]

Is it possible to hide / unpublish custom categories that you might want to temporarily remove and reuse at a later date?

[@shanesmaineshop]

you never showed how to delete one
