Title: Adding Categories? Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Adding Categories? * Resolved [jbrawner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbrawner/) * (@jbrawner) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-categories-8/) * I am trying to figure out how to add categories – currently the only option is un-categorized. * Basically I would like to display two different quotes, on two different pages within the same site at the same time. I think if I can create two different lists, and categorize the quotes, then this should be possible? Or if there’s a better method, please let me know! * I have it working for one quote at a time, it’s the two at a time that’s defeating me. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/cleverwise-daily-quotes/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cleverwise-daily-quotes/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 19 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-categories-8/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-categories-8/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Me](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cyberws/) * (@cyberws) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-categories-8/#post-5161799) * The categories are your WordPress categories, therefore you need to visit the main WordPress category management area. Once you have added them you can assign your posts to the corresponding category. * The plugin will read your WordPress category list which will allow you to assign the various sections to the correct category. This is how you may control where a section is displayed. * You do raise an interesting point. I should probably add a note about how categories are added; as a reminder. * Thread Starter [jbrawner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbrawner/) * (@jbrawner) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-categories-8/#post-5161811) * Ok, so I’ve added categories and they still aren’t showing up. Do I somehow need to add them to the individual quotes? * Nevermind, they did show up. Now, how do I select a particular category for a particular quote? * Thanks! * Plugin Author [Me](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cyberws/) * (@cyberws) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-categories-8/#post-5161835) * You need to edit the quote sections. Select the category and make sure the type is set to display in selected categories. You will then need to save the changes to quote sections. Also don’t forget to assign your post(s) to the necessary categories too. * Plugin Author [Me](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cyberws/) * (@cyberws) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-categories-8/#post-5161995) * I am following up to see if you accomplished the desired layout? * Thread Starter [jbrawner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbrawner/) * (@jbrawner) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-categories-8/#post-5161997) * Sadly no. I can’t seem to link the categories to static pages, and so I may need to figure out a different solution. The website is [http://www.lifestats.org](http://www.lifestats.org) * If you look at the website you’ll see that currently I have one quote appearing on the ‘wisdom +1’ page, and a daily yoga video appearing on the ‘dexterity + 1’ page. I accomplished that by using two different plugins. I want to be able to add a third ‘quote of the day’ section on the ‘Constitution +1’ static page. * Do you have any suggestions? * Plugin Author [Me](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cyberws/) * (@cyberws) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-categories-8/#post-5162001) * You are correct in that pages don’t have categories. In order to assign the quotes by categories you would have to convert your pages to posts, which would allow for category assignment. * You raise an interesting point and I like it. The ability to call a quote section by id. Hmmmm…. Yeah that wouldn’t be to hard. It will require some code work but I will look into it. * I will post back here in the next 24 hours if I can do it quickly or not so you aren’t hanging in limbo. Still something like [cw_daily_quotes section_id=(enter daily id)] that would work! Let me add that logic. * Thread Starter [jbrawner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbrawner/) * (@jbrawner) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-categories-8/#post-5162002) * You rock!

This is driving me insane as I have counted and recounted several times and have all I need. Please advise. * Thank you!
