Edit the Pages post type. You will be taken to the Edit Post Type page. On this page, scroll down to the section titled “Taxonomies to be used with Page”.

Select both the checkboxes for Categories and Tags and then click Save Post Type button to save the changes.

You should now see Categories and Tags under Pages menu.

Now the Categories and Tags should be available to you for assigning them to Pages while creating or editing the Pages.

But just adding Categories and Tags isn’t enough. You need to display them to your site’s visitors as well.
