Using categories to filter entries when editing

Categories can be helpful if you are trying to organize your entries for your own purposes. For instance, if you often write about your baby, your dog, or if you often post photos then categories can help you keep these entries tied together. This can be helpful when you are editing or deleting posts and only want to look at the posts made about a certain topic.

1. Start to filter your entries by clicking on the 'Showing all entries' link on the 'Entries' page.

2. The filter entries tool bar is dynamic so as you make selections options will change. Start by selecting 'only' from the 'Show' drop-down menu.

3. Now select 'category' from the next pull down menu.

4. By selecting category the next pull-down menu provides you a list of your categories to select from. Choose the category name you wish to see entries from.

5. This will display all the entries for this category. Now you can easily edit, delete, publish, or unpublish an entry from this list. Notice that the Filter message indicates the the filter you applied to view these messages.

6. After you are done editing or viewing those entries, click 'Reset' to display all of the entries again.
