How to Bulk create category/categories? [ad_1]The most recent plugin I found was from 9 years ago.what’s the easiest way to bulk create categories ?Just mostly bulk posts when Googling.Thanks [ad_2] Previous Articleschema.org data not minified | WordPress.org Next ArticleCheck for available date
Code? $categories = array(‘Category 1’, ‘Category 2’, ‘Category 3’); foreach ($categories as $category_name) { if (!term_exists($category_name, ‘category’)) { $args = array( ‘description’ => ‘Description for ‘ . $category_name, // Optional. ‘slug’ => sanitize_title($category_name) // Optional. ); // Insert category. wp_insert_term($category_name, ‘category’, $args); } }
Why would you need to create them in bulk? Categories are useless without having posts attached to them.
