Showing more Items in Categories then there are!

Have you tried going to Posts > Categories in your dashboard and double checking that you don’t have any extra categories in there?

I am seeing the extra ones might be Safaris, Mombasa, Kenya’s beaches, Category: 7 Bedrooms, and Category: 8 Bedrooms.

Hi NewtonPlease,

Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply, the problem is when I go to Posts > Categories I can see Safaris, Mombasa and Kenya’s beaches but Category: 7 Bedrooms and Category 8 Bedrooms does not appear, could those be hidden or something? They do appear on the html sitemap a plugin creates but I can’t see them anywhere on the categories dashboard, as I say, there are only 14 categories on that dashboard although on the bottom line it summarizes to 18… any idea how this could have happened?

Thanks again!

I’m not sure what theme you are using but if you are using a theme built specifically for rental properties, sometimes the theme developer will handle categories differently. Perhaps they separated the bedroom categories into another section of the dashboard or it is a built-in function which they do not want you to be able to delete. (But it is possible they will still show up in the count because they are just hidden from you in the categories dashboard.)

You could always ask the theme creator to see if they know whats going on.
