    I’m confused about the two options below.  I’ve set up custom fields for different channels but I’m not seeing how I would use custom category fields.  Can someone give me an explanation or an informative link.

    Custom Channel Fields
    Admin > Channel Administration > Custom Fields

    Custom Category Fields
    Admin > Channel Administration > categories > manage custom fields

    thanks!

    It’s custom field for a whole category. That can be similar category, a parent / child category, a color, some additional notes… really, whatever you can imagine. If you can’t envision a need for it you probably don’t need it 😊
