By default when you create a new blog post in WordPress it assigns it to the UNCATEGORIZED category.
In most cases, this isn’t the category you want it in.
It also looks a bit sloppy.
Here’s how to change the default category to a category of your choosing.
- Login to WordPress as an Administrator
- From the WordPress Dashboard select Settings
- Select Writing
- Select Default Post Category
- Save your changes using the SAVE CHANGES button at the bottom of the page.
- Done
Now, going forward, all your new blog posts will be by default set to the category you selected.
Here’s what it looks like.
