Editing “Categories” and creating “Sticky”
-
1. How do we edit the categories?
Example I have ‘video’ which i prefer to change to ‘VIDEO’ or ‘MOVIE’2. How about creating sticky post which always stay on top of the post? Is there a way?
I really got stuck!
Thx in advance -
1. Dashboard > Manage > Categories
From there you can edit, delete category names, etc.2. A few people have asked that before. Sticky posts don’t exist on WordPress.com. One way of doing something similar is to create a page with what you would post and set that as the front of your blog. http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/07/i-want-a-certain-post-at-the-top-on-my-blog/

Hi cjwriter, but i found no way to also create sub-categories!
How do I make ‘Joke&Fun’> Used in Class | Used with Friends | Mature ? -
No idea how you use subcategories, but do a forum search and you’ll find a million threads on the subject.
You can make a sticky post at the top of your blog: the solution is to change the datestamp on that post every single time you put up a new post, so that the “sticky” one appears to have been posted most recently.

What you want to do is create the Joke & Fun category. Then create the other three, edit them in the Manage > Categories, and set their parent category as Joke & Fun. That’ll make it so they’ll appear as sub-categories (give them a hierarchy).

oop!, just going to do it, one crise came to mind, will this practice destroy the previous links and posts if I change the existing ones?!
Once more, will deleting a post in one category also erase it from the others? -
Well, I have tried your suggestion, and yes it work! But the problem is that the subcategories still show independently not in hierarchy to the viewers like this:
Joke & Fun
>>>>Used in Class
>>>>so on…Is there another way like clicking Joke & Fun will list down its subcategories Used in Class, so on…?
Thx for your pondering help.

Changing a post won’t delete it from other categories… but just to be sure, just double-check that all the categories you want are checked in the categories box when you post it. If they’re not, select them again.
I don’t think you can change the hierarchy that way… if you select a second categories widget, though, you can tell it in its configuration to “show as a dropdown”. That hides the categories until people click on it to see them. That’s probably the closest thing I can think of to what you want to do.
I didn’t think of raincoaster’s suggestion, btw, but I’d second that; it’s a better way of doing a sticky post. Having a static front page can be bad for your google ranking, so changing the timestamp makes sense. :)
