Hi Folks,

If you take a look to my attached picture, normally, if you click on admin on "group", or "video", or "page", you can see a link for "categories". But with albums, I no longer see any link to edit categories. How can I edit albums-categories ?

Best Regards
Hello Yannick,

There has never been categories for albums Maybe you are seeing something different?

Its Facebook that dictates if this is good or not hahaha there is no explanation bcs Mark Z have not invented that yet https://stackideas.com/forums/why-no-categories-in-album


For albums it is not necessary to have categories, as you can refer to Facebook they also do not have the category selection for albums.

@Ssnobben, I saw your post....

The idea of ​​having categories for albums is probably not stupid (you and I had this idea, so it is possible that other people also had it ...)

But in my case, I can understand if Stackideas sometimes refers to fb, or twitter, or instagram, for the development of their components ... Because twitter, fb, insta, are big companies, and if they think that this functionality is necessary or not, so that is because they probably had to study this, and I think they have a lot of specialists who are able to assess the need for this or that functionality.

Initially, I wrote this post on the forum because I feared that users could post photos in the same category as me, and that then, they appear in "http://www.my_site.com/pictures" but of course, this is not not possible since in my "main_menu" I selected a very specific album. So, I was wrong and I had no reason to be worried. So for me, it's going very well like that.

The reason that we did not add categories to albums is not because of Facebook. It is mainly because it becomes a lot more complicated for end users. Imagine having to upload photos and you end up needing to set categories and albums just so you can upload photos.
