Hello!

Could you please help with using categories in Nicepage + Wordpress?

I found a wordpress plugin "Pages with category and tag" that can define the category to chosen page. But when adding category to a page and try to open it on the website it displays incorrect. As I understand it includes a page to some system page or maybe template instead displaying the whole page.

I want to create for example several categories like "colors" and define a page "colors" to display it like https://mysite.com/colors and category "numbers" and define a page "numbers" to display it like https://mysite.com/numbers

Then at the https://mysite.com/colors page I want to goto sub-category https://mysite.com/colors/red with defined page "red", https://mysite.com/colors/blue with defined page "blue" and with numbers I want to goto sub-category https://mysite.com/numbers/one with defined page "one" and etc.

How do I organize categories with its own pages available like examples above?

Hello,

To organize categories with their own pages in WordPress using Nicepage, you'll need to manage the structure of your content using both WordPress's built-in features and potentially additional plugins or customization.
Here's a step-by-step guide to achieve this:
1. Setting up Categories in WordPress:

In your WordPress dashboard, navigate to "Posts" -> "Categories" to create the categories you want, such as "Colors" and "Numbers".
Create Pages for Each Category:

Go to "Pages" -> "Add New" and create pages corresponding to each main category, like "Colors" and "Numbers". Use these pages as placeholders for the category archive pages.
2. Assigning Pages to Categories:
You mentioned using the "Pages with category and tag" plugin. Ensure that the plugin is correctly installed and activated. This plugin or a similar one should allow you to associate specific pages with respective categories.
Edit the "Colors" page and assign it to the "Colors" category using the plugin's functionality. Do the same for the "Numbers" page and the "Numbers" category.
3. Creating Sub-Categories and Sub-Pages:

For each main category ("Colors" and "Numbers"), create sub-categories. For example, under "Colors", create sub-categories like "Red", "Blue", etc. Similarly, under "Numbers", create sub-categories like "One", "Two", etc.
Create Sub-Pages:
Create individual pages for each sub-category. For instance, create pages titled "Red", "Blue" under the "Colors" page, and "One", "Two" under the "Numbers" page.
4. Displaying Content:
WordPress automatically generates category archive pages. When you visit a URL like https://mysite.com/colors, it should display posts assigned to the "Colors" category.
5. Permalinks Configuration:
Go to "Settings" -> "Permalinks" in your WordPress dashboard to configure how your URLs are structured. Choose a permalink structure that suits your needs, such as "Post name", to have URLs like https://mysite.com/colors/red.

Ensure that the URLs match the structure you're aiming for by setting up the permalinks accordingly.
