Content Post - Post Category

Creating a Root Category for Content Posts

Before you create a post type, you should finalise your root category structure first. Each Post Type will need to have a Root Category. The Root category will be used to only display posts within that root and it's children. Only the Marketplace Owner will have access to modify/create categories.

NOTE: There has been a menu restructure in Omnyfy Release v4.0.6, and some menu items from this guide may have moved. Please see the menu update in the release notes if you are on this release or later: View the Release Notes for Omnyfy v4.0.6

1. As a Marketplace Owner, log into the back end and go to Marketplace Management > Post Content > Post Category.
   
   
   
   
2. The page will load with the category structures.
   
   
   
   Here you can select Add Root Category from the top left.
   
   
3. Populate category information.
   
   
   

   Field	Notes
   Enable Category	Set this to Yes to use it for a Post Type
   Category Title	Set the title of this category

   Category Icon	Used for displaying categories in the Root category page (can be ignored for Root Categories)
   Category Snippet	Short description of the category. No more than 800 characters.

   
   
4. Once you have populated the information, select Save.
   
   
   
   This will be used as the Root Category for the Post Type.
