Viele Website-Besitzer wünschen sich, dass sie für ihre Seiten Kategorien und Schlagwörter verwenden können, so wie sie es für Beiträge in Blogs tun.
Das haben wir auch schon erlebt. Als wir komplexere Websites erstellten, erkannten wir, wie hilfreich es wäre, eine Möglichkeit zu haben, unsere Seiten zu gruppieren und zu kennzeichnen. Deshalb haben wir uns in WordPress umgesehen und eine Lösung gefunden.
In dieser Anleitung zeigen wir Ihnen, wie Sie Ihren WordPress-Seiten Kategorien und Schlagwörter hinzufügen können.
Warum Kategorien und Tags zu WordPress-Seiten hinzufügen?
Das Hinzufügen von Kategorien und Tags zu Ihren WordPress-Seiten hilft, diese zu organisieren und erleichtert es den Besuchern, das zu finden, was sie suchen.
Wenn Sie z. B. mehrere Verkaufsseiten für verschiedene Produkte in Ihrem WooCommerce-Shop haben, können Sie diese unter einer breiten Kategorie und sogar untergeordneten Kategorieseiten gruppieren.
Sie können dasselbe für verschiedene Funktionsseiten für Ihre Anwendungen und Software tun. OptinMonster gruppiert zum Beispiel mehrere Funktionsseiten unter der Kategorie „Funktionen“.
Seitenkategorien und Tags können auch für die Suchmaschinenoptimierung (SEO) hilfreich sein. Sie helfen den Suchmaschinen bei der Navigation durch Ihre Inhalte und beim Verständnis Ihrer Website-Struktur, so dass sie Ihre Seiten leichter indizieren und einordnen können.
Standardmäßig sind Kategorien und Tags WordPress-Taxonomien, die auf Ihre Blogbeiträge beschränkt sind. Normalerweise können Sie sie also nur für WordPress-Beiträge verwenden. Aber mit ein paar Schritten können Sie sie auch auf Ihre Seiten anwenden.
In diesem Tutorial zeigen wir Ihnen, wie Sie Kategorien zu Seiten Ihrer WordPress-Website hinzufügen können. Wir erklären auch, wie Sie WordPress-Seiten Tags hinzufügen können.
Einfaches Hinzufügen von Kategorien und Tags zu WordPress-Seiten
Die anfängerfreundlichste Art, WordPress-Kategorien und -Tags für Ihre Seiten einzurichten, ist die Verwendung des Plugins Seiten mit Kategorien und Tags. Es ist ein kostenloses WordPress-Plugin, das ohne zusätzliche Konfigurationen sofort funktioniert.
Als Erstes müssen Sie das Plugin installieren und aktivieren. Weitere Einzelheiten finden Sie in unserer Anleitung zur Installation eines WordPress-Plugins.
Nach der Aktivierung gehen Sie im WordPress-Verwaltungsbereich auf Seiten “ Neu hinzufügen. Sie werden feststellen, dass WordPress-Tags und Beitragskategorien jetzt für Ihre WordPress-Seiten verfügbar sind.
Anschließend können Sie Kategorien und Tags für Ihre Seiten erstellen.
Um eine Kategorie hinzuzufügen, gehen Sie in Ihrem WordPress-Dashboard zum Abschnitt Seiten “ Kategorien und geben Sie einen Kategorienamen und einenSlug ein.
Danach können Sie nach unten blättern und eine„übergeordnete Kategorie“ für Ihre Kategorie auswählen.
Sobald Sie diese Details eingegeben haben, klicken Sie einfach auf die Schaltfläche „Neue Kategorie hinzufügen“.
Sie können dann Ihre neu hinzugefügte Kategorie für Ihre Seiten anzeigen.
Wenn Sie eine bestimmte Kategorie löschen möchten, klicken Sie einfach auf das Kontrollkästchen daneben und wählen Sie „Löschen“ aus dem Dropdown-Menü für Mehrfachaktionen. Klicken Sie dann auf den Button „Übernehmen“.
Als Nächstes können Sie Ihre WordPress-Seiten in die soeben erstellten Kategorien einordnen.
Um zu beginnen, bearbeiten oder erstellen Sie einfach eine neue Seite. Im Block-Editor können Sie nun den Namen der entsprechenden Kategorie aus der Seitenleiste auf der rechten Seite auswählen.
Wir haben zum Beispiel eine Feature-Seite erstellt und sie unter der Kategorie „Features“ im rechten Seitenbereich markiert.
In ähnlicher Weise können Sie auch Tags für Ihre WordPress-Seite im Feld „Tags“ verwenden. Wenn Sie mehrere Tags hinzufügen möchten, trennen Sie sie einfach mit einem Komma.
Sie können zum Beispiel Schlüsselwörter und Phrasen hinzufügen, die Ihren Inhalt beschreiben. In unserem Fall haben wir die Begriffe „Ausstiegsabsicht“ und „OptinMonster“ als Tags hinzugefügt.
Nachdem Sie Ihre Kategorie ausgewählt und Tags hinzugefügt haben, aktualisieren oder veröffentlichen Sie einfach Ihre WordPress-Seite. Das war’s!
Weitere Anleitungen für die optimale Nutzung von Kategorien und Tags für Ihre WordPress-Website finden Sie in den folgenden Tutorials:
- Wie man Kategorie und Unterkategorie in WordPress Permalinks einfügt

Hi, I am very grateful for this information, however unfortunately when I installed and activated the plugin it completley disfigured my „all pages“ view on the dashboard , the letters identifying the page titles ran vertically down the page
thanks anyway
WPBeginner Support
It sounds like you may have all possible fields showing on your all pages screen. If you use the screen options in the top-right of the screen you should be able to hide some information to prevent the letter scrolling on the page.

Hi,
Cant we make it without any plugins?
WPBeginner Support
You can achieve this with code but by using a plugin it makes it easier to revert the change should you wish to do so. If you are concerned about the number of plugins on your site then we would recommend taking a look at our article below:

Hello,
On your recommendation we’ve been using this plugin. We love the features, but one thing is still bothering us. In the search results there are no categories showing. We use the Avada theme and would love to see categories in the results. Do you know how to fix it?
WPBeginner Support
You would want to reach out to the support for your specific theme for including the categories in the display

I like to read your blogs because I found the solution for my query but I noticed that you suggest installing a plugin for the solution. is it possible for you to show the solution by sharing custom code, not by a plugin.
WPBeginner Support
It depends on the issue, we do our best to add a method for using code instead of a plugin for those looking for that but not all issues are solved with a small amount of code. Plugins are also a collection of code so there’s not always a difference in the code we would show and the plugin we’re recommending.

Is there an advantage using pages over categories?
WPBeginner Support
Categories can group your posts while a page is normally for content that does not need to be updated often. You may want to take a look at our post here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/what-is-the-difference-between-posts-vs-pages-in-wordpress/

Hello,
I’m interested to know if there’s a way to make pages act as categories for SEO purposes. For example, if I create a new category ABC on my domain.com it will have this link, domain.com/categories/ABC. However, if I create a page with the slug ABC, it will have this link, domain.com/ABC. However, since it is not a category, search engines might treat it as a static page.
Is there a way I can convert the domain.com/ABC page to a category?

Thank you for your post, so the pages still considered as static pages?
If I create an „About“ page and if I did not assign a category will continue to be static? And in the other hand make pages as post with content?
WPBeginner Support
It should keep your pages as the static pages even if you add them to a category

Wow nice post boss keep it up
But This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

Thank you for letting us know, we’ll be sure to take a look at alternatives should this plugin no longer work.

Hi. I am having a problem with assigning a new category that (for reasons over which I have no control) was given the same category name but with a different slug, and I am supposed to ‚pull‘ these objects to the new category. But because it has the same name, although a different slug, WP doesnt seem to differentiate and keeps slinging the files into the old category. It defaults to the original. If there were a global function, other than the categories plugin, so that I could select the files and reassign from one category to another, bcause when I try to do so, only the old one shows up (even though the new one clearly exists).
WPBeginner Support
If you’re trying to rename the category, rather than transferring the posts individually you could rename the category: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-properly-rename-categories-in-wordpress/

Hi, i am using the events manager plugin which creates individual pages for each event created. The plugin settings give an option of showing events as pages or posts. However in both the cases, while creating the event it only gives an option of adding or selecting an ‚event category‘ and not the ‚categories that i create for my blog posts or pages.
Is there a plugin available so i can add my default post category to my events as well, so the events also show up in blog category archives?
Ghislain Poirier
And how do we add the categories to the pages?
I have the category functions showing in the wordpress backend menu, but it is only a shortcut to the create new category section…
It is still not allowing me to tell what page is in what category or am I missing something?
Pranav Mohan
This seems to assign pages to various categories, however, i am interested in finding out how to assign a category to a page so that when I search for the page, all the posts linked to the category show up.
Susan Taunton
Hi WPBeginner!
Post Tags and Categories is flagged by Wordpress now as not having been updated for 12 months and is only tested for up to Wordpress version 4.5.13. I just wonder if there not a child theme functions.php addition that could accomplish making pages taggable? Or is there a more up to date plugin that accomplishes this?
Thank you so much for your many, many excellent tutorials.
Susan
Xavier
Same question than Suzan.
I might use the php code for this feature in you have it by any chance.
BTW Suzan,
I found this plugin that might do the trick but I didnt test it myself and I would like WPBeginner opinion on that :
Category to Pages WUD
Hope this help

Hi, was super excited for this plugin but it didn’t work. It installed the categories but didn’t link them… I am so sad! Is there and up to date version?!
Carol
I guess this info is outdated for the latest WP version. Is there an alternative plugin? I need to have this and it should be in WP by default, not requiring a plugin!
Complaints on the plugin’s site that their latest version does not work. When I do a search by different ways within my own plugin page for ’new‘, „no such plugin“.

Hi Carol,
No, the information and the plugin mentioned in the article still work perfectly. We have updated the article with new screenshots.

Jonathan Hostetler
Thanks for this tip! I tried the plugin you recommended „Post Tags and Categories for Pages“ and it worked flawlessly. This is super helpful for me because we need to use pages (as opposed to posts) for certain projects because our visual editor plugin is only compatible with pages, but I also need to be able to assign categories to our content.
So, problem solved. Thanks again!

How can i list the category names under each page.? Please advise

This plugin has not been updated in 2+ years. Is there a way to do this without a plugin, so you’re not dependent on an old, outdated plugin?

Any info about compatibility with WordPress 4.4 ?
Renier
@Fabio
I found some problems in WP4.4. For some reason none of the ‚article posts‘ in a category/post shows on archives (2016 theme). By deactivating obviously all ‚article posts‘ shows, but not ‚article pages‘ (or at least this is what I suspect). In short, archives doesn’t show all the pages.
Does anyone else experience this problem? I can’t seem to find any literature on the topic. Maybe Post tags and categories for pages plugin needs an update?
Tor Ivan Boine
awesome! Weird that this needs a plugin
gerhard
Very useful feature and a very good explanation on video!
thanks

Hi,
has anyone managed yet to make these categories for pages appear in the URLs as well?
I have not found any way to do this. Without it this plugin is only half as useful.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Sebastian
Denis
I have a question,
I have a website, and I do have categories pages, and TAG pages too,
Category pages are shown as 10 posts and they have next button – previous button,
But TAG pages don’t have NEXT BUTTON – PREVIOUS BUTTON, and they show only 10 posts related with the tag…
It is really crucial issue for me and I really need to have this TAG pages with next button, previous button
Do you guys have any idea that why CATEGORY pages do have these buttons but TAG pages don’t have?
How can I solve this issue?
Thanks so much in advance.
Best

Hi, i want to add category to page-url example /%category%/%pagename% how can i modify it?
Can you post a artice about this?
Thanks

I need a video which make it without using any plugins. Thanks
Tanuj Mandale
is there a reverse of this,
I mean while creating a new post, instead of categories I want pages (to choose from). Means as a post is associates to category, it must associate to page.
Is it Possible, please reply.
thanks in advance
WPBeginner Staff
Seems like products are a custom post type added to your site by a plugin or theme. This custom post type is not associated with tags. See our guide on Custom Post Types and Custom Taxonomies.

Hi, im getting tag options for my posts but not for products, how to turn on tag option for products ?

Do you know why the categories which are created are shared with posts? I’d like them to be page-only….

Hi everyone, How do I take off the parenthesis and number of pages in front of each category. I am using it to categorize product for my online store and these don’t make sense. Thanks.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for this info. Was wondering if this could be done.
Has anyone found that by adding categories to pages has increased rankings in Google if they also change permalink to – /%category%/%postname% ?
Cheers,
Shane
michello
No, because the urls don’t change, I mean the category name does not show up in the url So this plugin is half-baked.

Is there a way to force them to show up in URLs via functions.php?

Mark Breese
So, as you say, there’s a plugin for that… So is there a plugin… or shortcode that will let me show the pages with a certain category as a list of links… or maybe a list with excerpts and featured image? And I am using Ninja Page Categories and Tags plugin actually.
My theme has a short code for showing posts in a category, but it does not pick up the pages in category and show them. (the theme is Weaver II Pro)
Les
I have to correct my first post. The categories used to appear on the right-hand side of the page.
Les
SOLVED: I found out what the problem was. In the „Screen Options“ I had categories unchecked. I placed a check in the box and the categories are back.
Thanks for a great plugin.
Les
My categories stopped showing on my add pages screen. They used to appear on the left side of the page. Even if I create a new page category, it won’t show up. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?
Thanks in advance.

Ignore previous comment. This is the correct one.
Hi. How can I show a listing of pages with their title/featured image/more?
Actually I only need the query to display a list of pages related to a category (pages I created and assigned them to a category) doesn’t seem to work. Instead, it brings only posts.
Editorial Staff
In your query make sure you are searching for both post types: posts and pages.

This might come in handy for a new site i’m working on. Perfect timing
Is it possible to tweak the categories so that is first shows the page, and then the posts below it?
and: will this also work with multiple taxonomies? For instance if I buy a portfolio theme, it is mostly handled by a custom taxonomy. It would be great if there would be a way to insert all posts under one category (unless this is already possible to achieve otherwise?)
Editorial Staff
You can certainly modify the loop, but that would be a whole separate tutorial on its own

Thank you so much for this tidbit of info. I have often struggled with the organization of pages and categories etc. This plugin will simplify that a lot and streamline the info I’m offering on my site.
In general, I really enjoy this newsletter and often get great bits of advice and help. Thanks!
In light of the fact that there is a plug in for almost everything and so many of them are really helpful…how many plugins is too many plugins?
At what point does the number of plugins become a drag or a risk on the site?
