 * Hello,

   a specific Post’s Category from A to B.
 * I couldnt find this in the documentation. Appreciaite if someone can guide me
   in the process of creating the REST request using javascript (with plain authentication)
   and the json request to change the specific post’s category from Category A to
   Category B
 * Thank you
    Pagio
