Overview
Contest categories help you organize your contests, similar to blog categories. You can create as many contest categories as you need and name them as you wish (for example: Photo Contests, Listen to Win).
Steps to Create a Contest Category
- Navigate to Contest Categories: Go to Promotions > Contests > Contest Categories.
- Fill out the category details:
- Name: Enter the name of your contest category.
- Slug: The slug is the URL-friendly version of the name. Use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only.
- Parent: Assign a parent term to create a hierarchy if needed. For example, "Jazz" could be the parent of "Bebop" and "Big Band."
- Description: Optionally, add a short description of the contest category. This may only appear in certain themes.
- Save the category: Click Add New Contest Category to save your new category.
