   I have my blog on wordpress.com. I tried to use the suggestion to use the admin area to change a category as the Posts->Categories option is not available to me. Weh I tried to use Admin->Categories, I was told that I did not have permission to make the change. Is there some concept of an administrative user on wordpress.com? How do I go about using this facility?

     You would need to reach out to WordPress.com’s support for the location to rename the categories in their interface.

   Hi, I don’t have any option to delete or change the name of categories. When I go to My Site/Blogs, there’s nothing there that says categories. I’m using the free version of wordpress – would that make a difference?

   Thank you

     Hi Helen,

     You are probably using WordPress.com which is a little different than self hosted WordPress.org websites. Please see our guide on the difference between self hosted WordPress.org vs free WordPress.com blog.

     On free WordPress.com blog you will need to go to the admin area for an individual blog and then you will be able to locate categories.

       Thanks for your quick response. I am using Wordpress.com. I still can’t work out how to delete categories, or to change the names.

         Hi, I’ve been trying to delete/edit categories for the free WordPress as well, and I’ve just figured out how:

         My Site > Settings (about the 2nd to the last option at left side menu) > Writing tab > Categories > then click on the ellipsis at the righthand portion of the category you want to delete > Delete.

         Hope this helped!

   It sounds like if I change any catagories, I won’t be able to let users and search engines know of change… Wordpress doesn’t offer the redirection plugin???

   What would be helpful is mentioning HOW you can replace all those links throughout the site instead of simply stating that you have to. As you mentioned in the video, your site grows.

   how come I do not see the same screen you show on the video?
   And when I click on post, it only allows me to add post, there is not edit or delete button for category.

     Missy, try the drop-down menu you get when you hover over ‘My Site’ on your blog’s home page. The thing you want from the drop-down menu is ‘WP Admin’ – this should take you to the pages that look like they do in the tutorial above.

    Hi, thanks for this helpful post. I’d like to ask, if I add a second category to a post (as opposed to just changing a post’s category) I’ve noticed that sometimes the post url will switch to that category slug, resulting in a 404 and lost likes/shares on social media. Is there any way that this can be avoided?

    Thanks in advance,

    J

      You can use redirection plugin to set up a 301 redirect from old URL to the new. This will solve the 404 errors.

        Hi, many thanks for your reply. What I was hoping was to somehow figure out a way to keep the original category slug so as not to lose the social share count.

        For example if I have a post in “science” and want to add it to the “latest news” category as well, I’d like to stop the slug from changing to /latest-news/ from /science/ or at least be able to rewrite it if it does. Is there any way to do that?

        Thanks again for your help

    Thank you for the article it was great. Forced me to do some reorganizing, but I appreciate it.
    I am still searching for away to remove the “category” base from my permalinks.
    I would like to do it without a plug-in if possible. The plugin that I did find with the best reviews hasn’t been updated in 2 years.
    Options such as adding “.” or “/” are not working for me.

    Hope someone can help.

    Thanks

      @Jeremy, I do not knoe if you still need this or you found it already or you still need it, you can use this plugin (Remove Category URL) for it.
      Hope it helps.

    Are you trying to rename the taxonomy category into topic or you are renaming an individual category term?

    返信

13. Tomo

    When I rename category to topic,generated sitemap still contain category(not topic).

    Is there any ways to fix this?

    How about properly renaming ‘categories’ itself, to something like ‘topics’?

    返信

    • Daniel

      Where do you want it renamed?

      To change that general label in the presentation of the ‘blog to a visitor (as such), one would edit the theme, or create a child theme with the relevant edit. That editing itself would not be done through the dashboard (though selection of a child theme would).

      To change the general label of what are called “categories” in the dashboard might make sense if you have multiple contributors or if it really disturbs a single contributor. I’ve never had a felt need for such a change, but one could hack the PHP, or install one of the plugin tools for editing the dashboard.

    My question is this…if I change the category names and my blogs are categorized to the old names, will my blogs be redirected to the new names automatically or do I need to go to each blog and and re-categorize them?

      If you are using the redirection plugin, then it does the redirection part for you.

    Thanks so much! I was puzzling over how to do this very thing. I am new to blogging and having a great time; this entire realm is making my brain work and I love it. In my next life I want to learn to write code. If you are toodling around the web and want something to read, I would be honored if you peeked at my site, and welcome any input. I use a pen name. Thanks for all this info!

    Thanks for this; I’ve finally built up enough content that I need to seriously consider organizing. I couldn’t figure out how to merge categories, and didn’t realize their importance for SEO.
