Great and Simple
by georgesd9·4 years ago
Admin panel is nice but didn’t work for me
by ghartwig·5 years ago
I saw “categories” show up briefly in the sidebar while editing a page, but then it went away. I was unable to get it back. Another similar plug-in did work for me.
Also, plug-in assumes that all plug-ins are in folders. They don’t have to be and mine crashed the plug-in (simple code work-around).
Works great with 5.4.2
by Stuckindmud·5 years ago
We have a site that has over 60 pages and covers at least 8 categories. We were going crazy trying to find pages until I finally found this one. It works simply, does exactly what you want it to and made managing this hydra we have much easier. Well done.

I use the free Elementor Page Builder and this plug-in makes it so easy to add categories to pages.
Highly recommend this.
