Taxonomies and terms
Taxonomies allow you to create custom classification vocabularies for your posts. Each taxonomy contains terms that you can assign to your content.
Note: This section is reserved for administrators.
Understanding the concept
- Taxonomy: A classification vocabulary (e.g.: "Region," "Theme," "Target Audience")
- Term: An entry in this vocabulary (e.g.: for the taxonomy "Region": "Europe," "North America," "Asia")

Usage in posts

Tip: Use taxonomies for classification dimensions that categories alone don't cover (geography, audience, format, etc.).
