Should I use categories or tags?
Categories are best used for broad groupings of topics. For example, if you're creating a site that reviews media, you might use categories such as Books or Film or TV. Tags are much more specific topics that you want to use to associate related content.
What is the difference between category and tag?
Tags and categories on posts are used to help readers locate information in different ways. Categories are like chapters of a book; they provide a general overview of the topics you blog about. Whereas tags are more like the index at the back of the book and explode the topic into a million bits.
Should I use categories or tags in WordPress?
According to the WordPress definition, categories allow you to broadly group post topics, while you can use tags to describe your post in more detail. In an ideal world, we would use categories to group the content on your website into — say — eight to ten global segments.
Can categories and tags be the same?
The short answer is No. Categories and tags both have different purposes. You have to use categories, but you don't have to use tags if you don't want to. However, we recommend using both, appropriately, to help readers navigate your site.
