# Categorise pages

* I have seen that when posts are displayed, they have a “class” of their category
embedded within the article container.
For example :
* ```
....
```
* As can be seen here, the post has been categorised in the project category.
* I would like to be able to equally categorise pages that I create – or something
like it.
* Why ?
* Well, this would enable me to change the format-icon definition depending on
the category used.
* However, I do not see any category section within the admin page for creating
pages.
If I try by creating a custom field, this is not output in the same way.
* Am I pushing too far ?
Is this kind of behaviour possible ?

* Look at the body tag of your categories pages.

* Sorry, but I do not see where you are referring to.
There are no categories
for pages.

* Sorry I thought you meant categories pages, you meant wordpress pages.
You want
to categorize pages, you can do that, for example.. using the same template.
Isn’t that beautiful but.. Create as many templates as the “cagetories pages”
you want, and then you can style them because the template you will use will
be one of the class of the body tag of those pages.
* ```
```
* In this case “page-template-default”, or
* ```
```
* if you use the custom template.. and so on

* Totally agree with you.
* However …. my case is where I am displaying excerpts of these same pages with
the blog articles on the home page.
This is what you helped me with before today:
[Adding last published pages to home page](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-last-published-pages-to-home-page)
* This is where I am lifting up the tag I mentioned at the beginning.

* Mmm, wanna try this?
* ```
add_filter('tc_article_selectors', 'my_selectors');
function my_selectors($selectors){
global $post;
if ($post -> post_type == 'page'){
$page_id = get_the_ID();
$template_slug = get_page_template_slug( $page_id );
if ( ! empty($template_slug) )
$class = 'page-template-' . sanitize_html_class( str_replace( '.', '-', $template_slug ) );
else
$class = 'page-template-default';
$selectors = str_replace('class="','class="'.$class.' ', $selectors);
}
return $selectors;
}
```
* This will put the above mentioned template class in the article class.
