 * I have a question. When I publish a post, depending on the tags I use, will show
   up in multiple categories. I know how to get the category id, but I can’t remember
   where I go to put that id # so based on the tag, won’t show up in the rest of
   the categories. Can someone please help?

 * Your post is very confusing — which is probably why it’s not been answered in
   almost 9 hours even though the queue is otherwise empty.

 * Is this happening on your site that you’re trying to stop?
 * Or is this something you’re trying to implement?

 * WordPress doesn’t have a feature like that.
 * If you did this previously, then the feature came from a plugin you used… and
   no one here can tell you where to go without knowing the plugin in question.
 * But I’m curious: if you’re in the editor publishing a post and adding tags and
   whatnot, what’s the big issue with simply checking the box(es) to select the 
   appropriate category/categories for the post?

 * Hi George,
 * I apologize for being confusing as that was not my intent. I have one site where
   I did actually put in the category id numbers without a plugin. My site is a 
   gaming site, so if I wrote something about Quest 3, that post would appear in
   the Quest 3 category.
 * A new site I am trying to build, I bought a theme, however, I tried making two
   different posts, and those posts are not appearing either on a page or in the
   different categories. So I am trying to figure out, with the 2nd site, how to
   when I post something that would be like for PlayStation, it would appear just
   in the PlayStation category for example.
