Changing Blog Categories

  • I called my blog category “General” since I didn’t know what else to call it. Now that I have several blog posts, how would I change the title of blog category from “General” to what I want?

  • wp-admin->Posts->Categories

    Go to your Dashboard under Posts. Click on “Categories”, then click on your “General” category. this will open the Edit Category page for your “General” category.

    Change the Category Name (and I would recommend changing the Category Slug, too); click on the “Update Category” button. Next, under Settings | Permalinks, click on the “Save Changes” button to update those as well.

    Keep in mind, any posts already indexed by the search engines might cause “page not found” issues.

    This did not work. I went to Dashboard. Clicked on Edit Categories. Changed the name of the Category and the Slug, but when I clicked on Update Category, it said “cannot update category” or “did not update category.”
