Hii Guys,

Is it possible for users to select multiple categories of a topic…Like if the user is asking a question about “How to Install WordPress on cPanel?” then user need to select both category “cPanel and WordPress”…

How can I make this thing possible in Discourse?

Thanks

Hello, no it’s not possible. Think of categories as a tree.

For you specific goal you should use tags.
