I saw "categories" show up briefly in the sidebar while editing a page, but then
it went away. I was unable to get it back. Another similar plug-in did work for 
me. Also, plug-in assumes that all plug-ins are in folders. They don't have to be
and mine crashed the plug-in (simple code work-around).

We have a site that has over 60 pages and covers at least 8 categories. We were 
going crazy trying to find pages until I finally found this one. It works simply,
does exactly what you want it to and made managing this hydra we have much easier.
Well done.

I use the free Elementor Page Builder and this plug-in makes it so easy to add categories
to pages. Highly recommend this.
