Creating Post Categories

Post Categories are used to keep Posts sorted, and determine where Posts will display throughout your website. Posts are mostly commonly used for a "Latest News" feed on the website, so this example will be used for the purposes of this tutorial.

Each Oncord Post needs to be assigned to at least one Post Category, so you'll need to create a Post Category (e.g. Latest News) before creating any of the individual news Posts.

Creating a New Post Category

Navigate to Dashboard > Website > Posts.

Select the Categories button at the top of the page to view all Post Categories.

Click the "+ New Category" button located towards the top of the page to configure a new Post Category.

Clicking the "Save Category" button will create the new Post Category. When creating Posts, your new Post Category will now appear as a category option.

Once you generate a new page for the post category, Oncord will inject code into the newly created page to retrieve all posts assigned to that category.

You can also add the post category into an existing page:

• Open the page editor of the page.
• Click the "Insert" button in the left panel.
• Scroll down to the "Dynamic" section and drag the "Posts" element into the page.
• Configure which post categories will be shown on this page.
• Click the "Save" button.
