Support » Fixing WordPress » Can’t change post category

  • I can’t change what category my posts are in. For example, I recently posted something on my blog and it put it in the default category. I’d like to move it to a different one, but anytime I check which category box I want it to be in and update it, nothing changes.

    Can someone please take a look at this

    Dude,
    I just got off the boat 25 minutes ago. But I think I stumbled across your answer. This Blog “software” stuff reminds me of my dog’s farts.

    Be logged in & visit your blog site.
    Select dashboard |manage |Posts. in the list of posts that appear, double click the one you wish to recategorize.
    That’ll bring up a new window. scroll down a skosh and you should see the a “Categories” horizontal div/section. Check & uncheck boxes till you select the category you wish to change this post to.

    Gaze over to the this window’s right column and hit the big “Save” button. Regardez how the category section check boxes are rearranged.

    View your blog. Look under the Categories heading. Click the category you just switched the post to and that post should be there.

    Re: Recatagorizing posts.

    Ok

    So now I’ve been off the boat a few more minutes…..
    And I went back and made sure my one & only post was checked in the uncategorized box and the additional category box that I named “Welcome”. Otherwise my blog would open with no posts visble until I selected a category link that was populated with a post.

    Got That?
