An option to set categories for the posts would be fantastic ---

Absolutely. Articles will become redundant after a while if people canā€™t navigate to categories of interest (they wonā€™t scroll endlessly to find what they are looking for). Especially when there are various topics being written about or discussed. ā€˜Most recentā€™ articles donā€™t always mean the most relevant. Search intent is crucial in blogging. ---

Greetings @Max et al., This is definitely a missing feature for us. Logically we expected this to be in the **ā€œPostā€** section when **ā€œEdit Post:ā€** is selected and below options are made available: 1. Featured Image 2. Publication Date 3. **ā€œCategoryā€** 4. **ā€œTagsā€** 5. Author 6. URL Slug 7. Feature Post Button Then weā€™d expect the option to select, or de-select it in **ā€œCard Elementsā€** along with: 1. Post Intro 2. Author Name 3. Publication Date 4. **ā€œCategoryā€** 5. **ā€œTagsā€** If this type of feature is too complex, or beyond the scope of the widget, then a feature for **ā€œTagsā€** would be great. Or does this already exist via customization? Or is there another thread for **ā€œTagsā€** that I can upvote? cc: @Helga as Max is out on vacation., Best regards, mw ---

Thanks a lot for this detailed comment, @iammasterweb! Unfortunately, we donā€™t support the ā€œCategoryā€ and ā€œTagsā€ features at the moment, but these are really good suggestions in my book. Iā€™m afraid there is no option to customize tags, but youā€™re very welcome to upvote this idea: [Add tags to posts and tag filter](https://community.elfsight.com/t/add-tags-to-posts-and-tag-filter/68625) šŸ™‚ Many thanks for your help! ---

Thank you @Helga . Just up voted. Iā€™ll also take a look at the other feature requests for the ā€œ[Blog](https://community.elfsight.com/c/wishlist/blog/216)ā€ widget using the **tag** under ā€œAll Widgetsā€ found on the ā€œ[Wish List](https://community.elfsight.com/c/wishlist/8)ā€ page. I just noticed it, as I was going to make a suggestion to add it to the forum. What I will suggest is that this very neat feature be included in the [Welcome to the Elfsight Community!| Beginnerā€™s Guide](https://community.elfsight.com/t/welcome-to-the-elfsight-community-beginners-guide/7). Also feel free to share/remind us of all the cool features to easily navigate the Elfsight forum. Iā€™m still learning, and like to be efficient without duplicating feature requests. Best wishes, mw ---

Hello guys, @JP_Vandervaere, @JP_Vandervaere šŸ‘‹ I am sorry, but we havenā€™t got any news about this feature yet! You see, we priortitize requests based on their complexity and popularity. Right now, we have a bunch of requests with the higher priority and our devs are focused on them. However, we see that this feature got significant interest from the community and Iā€™d like to assure that weā€™re not going to abandon this idea. Letā€™s hope the devs will be able to consider it in 2025 and Iā€™ll make sure to update if anything changes Many thanks for your feedback and happy New Year šŸ˜‰ ---
