Subcategories sit one level below categories and are where articles actually live — every article belongs to exactly one subcategory. Use them to break a broad category into specific topics (for example, an "AcityPlus Mobile App" category might have subcategories like "Installation" and "Troubleshooting").
Creating a subcategory
- In the sidebar, click Subcategories under Content.
- Click New Subcategory.
- Choose the Category it belongs to.
- Enter a Name (required) and an optional Description.
- Click Save Subcategory.
On the public site, subcategories are listed alphabetically by name under their category — so if the reading order matters to you, choosing names that already sort the way you want is the only way to control that.
Hiding a subcategory from the public site
Tick Hide from public site (internal use only) to keep just this one subcategory, and every article inside it, off the public site — the rest of the parent category stays visible as normal. This is the setting to reach for when only part of a category is meant to be internal-only; see "Creating and Managing Categories" if you instead want to hide an entire category at once.
Moving a subcategory
You can move a subcategory to a different category later by editing it and changing the Category field — its articles move with it.
Important: just like categories, deleting a subcategory permanently deletes every article inside it. Double-check what's inside before deleting — open the Articles page and filter by that subcategory first if you're not sure.
