We can use Category: Replace as a workaround. In our system I have created a dummy category called “Expired” and I can use Category: Replace to replace all the previously set categories to Expired. Works perfectly. It’s actually easier that making sure that you’ve correctly ticked all the categories you want removed, as some of our events have four or five categories.
I’m happy.
I hope it helps both with the debugging and with any others with the same problem.
Thanks for all this helpful feedback @hvorrath. We’ll do a general debug of “Category:Remove” and see if/when/why it’s not working
@hvorrath @pixelarea Please test this version to see if works for you with “Category:Remove”:

Hi Steve, Thanks for this response, but I think the link is incomplete. I’m getting a “page doesn’t exist” message.
@prosie Sorry, I forgot to make it public. Try now
@prosie @hvorrath let us know if this new version helps, please. We plan to release it this week.
This is working for us. Many thanks.
Great, thanks @prosie. We’ll get this ready for official release
Closing for now. Please follow up if 2.4.4 doesn’t solve this.
Thanks Steve – just wanted to confirm that 2.4.4 fixes it for us. Sorry I didn’t have time to check the dev version, but I saw @prosie was doing it and I was a bit busy launching another website.
