    Ok, I know how to assign category to an entry.

    But is it possible to assign multiple entries to a category?

    Practical example:

    I have a webshop with hundreds of products. Recently I created a new category (say, “allergy relief products”) and now I want to assign entries to this category. It would be much faster if I could just open the category and assign weblog entries to it via the drop-down menu with multiple-select option.

    Is it possible?

    Thank you!

    Hi Ramya108,

    What you want to do is actually quite simple. Go to the edit page and filter until you find all the entries that you want to add/remove categories from and check them. At the bottom of the page is a dropdown - choose “add categories” and submit.

    Let me know if that works for you.

    Thank you so much for this tip!

    I did not know I could do that.
