How to Delete Categories

  • Hey. Hoping someone can help.

    While I was covering a convention, my podcast co-host took over the responsibility of updating our website.

    I love him to death, but he’s not exactly very consistent or accurate with is editing. While he had control of the website, he decided to add about 25 categories for our posts. Some mispelled. Some uncapitalized. And some… well… some that made absolutely no sense.

    I’ve gone back to his posts and removed these categories from the posts, but now I’d like to delete the categories all together from the list so he can’t use them again.

    How do you delete and/or edit categories from the category list once you’ve created them?

    Thanks. Actually, I found that.

    Now the problem is that I delete the categories under manage–>categories, but every time I hit the delete button, the category disappears for a second then reappears with a red background.

    It seems something is preventing me from deleting any categories.

    I’ve seen that problem multiple times elsewhere on this fourum, with only one solution offered: Replace the categories.js file.

    Is that the ONLY solution? And how is this done without screwing things up. I don’t want to go deleting willy-nilly unless I know I won’t screw up my site.

    Thanks!
