Welcome to the Make community!

Yes, you can add tags and categories when creating a new Wordpress post.

You’ll need to split the tags/categories by comma-space so that it becomes an array.

Then, use an iterator on the array so that you can process each category at a time.

Create new category using the name.

Then, if category exists, there will be an error. Handle the error by searching for the category, and resuming with the existing category ID.

Then, aggregate the category IDs into an array using the Array Aggregator.

You can then insert the array of category IDs into the tag/category field.

Similarly, this works the same way for the Wordpress Tags field.
