  Is there a way for a parent category to have multiple children? I have no posts made yet, but I want to create subcategories under one category.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If you’re using the new (blue) editor and creating a new post, scroll all the way down and on the right there’s a link that says “Switch to classic mode”.

  If you’re already using classic mode, when you’re creating a new post, on the right side of the page under “Categories” there’s a link that says “Add New Category”.

  Type in the name of the category you want to create, and select the category you’d like it under where it says “Parent Category”. You can do it as many times as you like.

  You can also do it from the WP Admin Dashboard.

  Click “Posts” in the left-hand column, and then “Categories”. Enter the name of the category you’re creating where it says “Name”, select the Parent category under “Parent”, and then click “Add New Category”. You can do it as many times as you like.
