- Log in to your admin via the back end i.e. (www.yourdomainname/administrator)
- Click on the Category Manager.
- Click New - this will open a content editor page
- Enter your category name in the part that says ‘Title’
- If this is a sub-category, select the parent category from the dropdown list
- Make sure that the Status says ‘Published’.
- If you wish to have a visible category description, you can type that into the content area below.
- IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are copying your content from another website or from MS Word, you will need to copy it and paste it in notepad first. MS Word uses html (web page) technology to render text, so pasting directly from these sources could affect the layout and formatting of your page content. Pasting your content into Notepad removes the formatting from MS Word, helping to ensure that your page content is consistent throughout your website.
- See the note on inserting images (if you want to insert any image to the new content)
- Use the content editor icons above the area where you insert content to format your content (e.g. bold, change colour etc) just as you would in Microsoft Word.
- After you have put everything in place save your new category using the 'Save and Close' button at the top of the page.
- NOTE - DO NOT USE THE 'BACK' BUTTON ON YOUR BROWSER: You must use the save or the close buttons at the top of the content page or you could end up with database access issues, which could affect future editing or management of your content.
