Setting Primary Category In Wordpress With Make Post

How To
1

I am using Make to publish articles about all cities within my state. I am putting each article into two categories: 1. The County 2. The City. I need the city to be the primary category (aka Primary Term) but it defaults to the county category being the primary one. The county category is the parent category to the city.

I need this because it affects the URL. When the city is the primary category the URL is “State/County/City/Article Title” but when it’s not the URL is just State/County/Article Title".

I’ve tried changing the order of the category IDs in the make “Create a post” module but no luck.

Any idea how to set one of these categories as the primary one through make.

Welcome to the Make community!

Please see these duplicate questions previously asked and answered by other community members:

Looks like you’ve used a plugin to add this feature, which means you can only select it via the Wordpress editor interface.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
