The walkthrough below is how to add new categories individually, if you want to add them as a batch with the same images as we have on here then go to this topic https://www.quizland.co.uk/index.php?topic=9.

You may want to add new categories to your quiz, if you do then just follow the steps below.

It might seem simple enough but the first thing to do is decide what you want to call the category.
Then find an image file, .png or .jpg at 64 x 64pixels or a bigger file that you can resize, that you will associate with the category (remember where it is)

Now go to 'Admin/Forum/Quiz/and click on 'Categories'

When the new page opens

2 add the description in the box below that
3 'Choose File' button and browse to the location where your image is stored
4 Now click 'Upload' you should see the image file name appear in the box above.

5 Now click 'Save Category' once you do that you will be presented with a blank new category page, if you are only creating 1 new category then close that page by clicking on the 'Categories' button again.

This will take you back to the categories list and if you were successful your new category will show up in the list.

If it's there click on 'Quiz' in the forum menu at the top of the forum page, then go to 'Categories' you should now see your new category on that page along with the image you chose.
