Why do I have ‘Uncategorized’ as a section?

When looking at the Sections page in your Parse.ly dashboard, you may see “Uncategorized” listed as one of your Sections.

This occurs when there is no section associated with a post or piece of tracked content.  Either there is no section for that post to be associated with or the section field in the metadata tag was not populated.

If you are seeing Uncategorized as the top section in your dashboard, there may be a problem with your metadata tag implementation.  For more information about proper metadata tag implementation, you can visit our metadata page.

It is not uncommon to see Uncategorized as one of the Sections in your dashboard as not every piece of content necessarily belongs in a particular section on your site.  However, if you do see Uncategorized as a section and are not sure why, email us at support@parsely.com and we’ll do our best to clarify.
