Assign Pages to Categories

There is no technical limitation preventing doing this. It is a purposeful design decision.
and a rather absurd one, I should say.
[just as well absurd as famous ‘Global Tags’* links in the user’s post header/footer which forcibly bring wp.com visitors to the site-wide list of simillary tagged posts without leaving them a choice to find/browse particular tagged posts on the wp.com blog they’ve initially landed to (from a search engine for instance) instead of all that other’s posts.]
apparently, this purposeful design decision is a keystone which notorious “state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability” is based on, as proudly states wp motto.
But, that decision is looking a bit dated, so things might change. We’ll argue about it some more on the WordPress design lists. :-)
so, how is it going, is there any progress? ;-)

I’ll add my voice here – it would be great if we could have our pages categorised in the same way as blog posts. Please let us know if there is any update on this?

As far as I know there is no plan underfoot to do this. Pages are not like posts. They sit outside the blog structure. Also if you check the forum searchbox you will find threads that contain no indication whatsoever that this is even being considered. Your best bet is to address staff directly for a definitive answer.

Thank god for this topic! Thanks to ptvguy for sharing how he got all the categories on a page. Im new to blogging and wordpress is really confusing. Until theres a better way I like this idea!

When I first came here I benefited greatly from ptvguy’s instructions. Don’t forget to make your request to staff for the ability to assign categories to pages feature.
