Pages will show up in the stock WordPress archive queries. This WILL NOT add any display of categories or tags to your template files. There are simply to many ways that things could be displayed in a theme so we don’t do it. If you need to add this then look at using WordPress functions like [the_category()](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_category) and other category or tag function supplied in WordPress. ## Installation 1. Extract post-tags-categories-pages/ to your wp-content/plugins/ folder. 2. Activate the plugin. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7cf53ab18656b97072e47cccabf02d7ba19e9585edc71f0378e6402858434378? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Categories on pages with friendly URL](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-on-pages-with-friendly-url/)󠁿 [pjrfigueiredo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pjrfigueiredo/) April 14, 2025 Just what I need.Works on WP 6.7.2.We can categorize pages and have SEO friendly URLs like /category/page ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f708f427c0c46221621263484676cac0d59bbe6cb7126dedb4313653cfd5f398? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Thanks](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thanks-2532/)󠁿 [Loukia Kotsibou](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lkotsibou/) December 3, 2024 Very useful plugin, it organize pages and more.

Now I can simply select categories when I add a new page in WP, plus it's 100% free.

Seems like it would be a core function. Many thanks to the author!
