Choose the WordPress category for your articles

Let Distribb pick a category, always use one, or use the WordPress default.

Markdown

Do it in Distribb. This opens the right page in the app. You may need to sign in first.

Open Integrations

Each WordPress connection has a category rule. One article can also have its own category.

Steps

  1. Open Integrations and find your WordPress row.
  2. Choose Category. The WordPress Category dialog opens.
  3. Pick one: - Auto (recommended): Distribb picks the best fit from your existing categories. - Always use one category: choose it under Pick a category. - WordPress default: WordPress applies its own default category.
  4. If the list looks old, choose Refresh list. Then choose Save.

For one article

Open the article. In the Category field, pick a category or No category. The category must already exist in WordPress. An article's own category wins over the rule above.

Check it works

Publish or sync the article, then open it in WordPress and look at its categories.

Good to know

  • Distribb sends one category per post. Older posts can still carry a second category added earlier in WordPress.
  • If your permalinks include the category, changing it changes the post URL. Pick a rule before your first articles go out.
  • Clinics and local businesses often keep one blog category. Content comes from the AI content writer.
