Content and moderation
Managing categories
Create the categories members choose when they post listings, events, blog posts or volunteering.
Categories help members find what they need. Members choose one when they post a listing or an event, for example "Gardening" or "Transport".
Open Listings in the admin menu and press Categories. If your community does not use listings, you find Categories under Content instead.
Adding a category
- Press Add category.
- Enter a Name.
- Choose a Type: Listing, Event, Blog, Resource or Vol Opportunity (volunteering).
- Choose a Colour.
- Press Create category.
Viewing by type
Use the tabs All, Listings, Events, Blog and Volunteering to see one type at a time.
Changing or removing a category
Use the actions on a category row to edit it. Press Save changes when you are done. To remove a category, choose delete and confirm. This cannot be undone.
Use everyday words for category names. Members search with the words they use themselves.
This is done on the main website. The accessible site does not have this page.
