# Sub-category?

 * Hello:
 * I am really liking Postie and as I prepare to post multiple articles through 
   email, I am not being able to resolve posting to sub-categories. I have states
   as categories but they roll under States. When I mark category as Alabama, Postie
   seems to create an Alabama category as stand alone. As opposed to showing Alabama
   under State.
 * How can I flag category & sub-category within the subject?
 * Thanks!

 * Postie doesn’t do anything different than regular WordPress. If you create a 
   new post and assign a subcategory and publish the post, then re-open it in the
   editor the category panel does not show the subcategory under the parent category
   unless you select it as well. However, the quick edit does show the hierarchy.
   
   You can specify multiple categories if you’d like.
