Change post category based on title contents

  • Hi All, first post…

    I’ve been looking but unable to find a plugin that will do this for me, is there a plugin available that will allow me setup “rules” so that if a post content (title or body) match a specified query then it adds another category.

    for example.

    Post Title = “Welcome to WordPress”
    this will add that post to the “WordPress” category.

    Any help on finding a plugin or an idea of where to start with the code would be great.

    thanks in advance

  • Perhaps this is of any use: https://devilmustcry.com/blog/3-wordpress-plugins-for-auto-tag-and-category-linking.html

    SEO Smart Links may be what you’re looking for: “SEO Smart Links can automatically link keywords and phrases in your posts and comments with corresponding posts, pages, categories and tags on your blog.” (Source: plugin page)

    If tags are also okay: I believe I’ve used Simple Tags before, which allowed me to enter a list of tags that it should search for and (if enabled) automaticlaly add to posts. It worked well.

    I should point out, though, that you have to choose your tags/keywords carefully. Any amibiguity will quickly become a nuisance, which, frankly, is the reason I don’t use autotagging anymore.

    Good luck!
