Combining categories

  • I started off my blog with way too many categories, which was nice to sort things as specifically as possible, but now I want to reduce the amount of categories I have. I don’t want everything to go back to general after having categories deleted or changed around. Is there any way to combine two categories into one, or to merge categories, or something like that? If not, this would be an ideal feature to see soon. Thanks!

  • I hope this still works cuz I love it. It’s called Batch Categories:

    https://climbtothestars.org/archives/2004/07/13/batch-categories-09/

    IT IS NOT A PLUGIN.

    It is an addon. Follow the instructions and you initiate it by typing to the address in your browser like example.com/wp-admin/batch-categories.php or whatever you want to call it.

    It will allow you to sort and edit all your posts and their categories. I love it and you can find out more about it by searching the forum for “batch categories”.

    I’m afraid it doesn’t look like it works. It spits me to a blank page. Any other suggestions?

    I’m sorry to press this further but it is becoming a bit of an issue. Is there some kind of mass category editor I can use? I have already deleted the categories I don’t want and dumped the posts into “General.” A nice way to change a bunch of these at a time would be really great.
