Demo

All the categories in ESON's Blog are generated automatically by hexo-auto-category.

Background

As a Hexo user, you must be troubled with front matter setting for each post. With this plugin, you don't need to set categories one by one. hexo-auto-category generates static post categories automatically based on directory/folder name.

Warning

Your original categories will be overwriten.
