 * I think I resolved this by removing all of the content from that page and replacing
   it with new content. Its still odd though. And I don’t know what caused the duplicate
   content. But I do believe I fixed it, even though it was not in the most elegant
   manner.

 * thank you so much Thomas. That was the sort of reassurance that I needed. I am
   seeing rotation now and my guess is we just needed to wait for awhile for everything
   to work. Regardless, I appreciate your time. And should this work well for us
   then we will upgrade.

 * So you cannot rotate ads without using the pro version if you have caching (and
   who doesn’t)? Is that correct? We were hoping to find out if and how this worked
   before ponying up.

 * That doesn’t work. But what did work was to go to Appearance/Customize Theme/
   Blog/ and change to full post vs excerpt there. I guess I”m still not familiar
   with the customizer. Thanks for your reply

 * OK, I wanted to report back on where I ended up.
 * By opening multiple tabs each tab having my admin panel with the categories window
   open, I was able in each window to delete 250 categories in each window. This
   added up to deleting 2000 at a session. At first I needed to wait 20 minutes 
   for the process to take place. Over time, the deleting process was faster.
 * I’ve now deleted the 41000 categories that needed eliminating.
 * This freed up the memory that was needed to display posts in the editing window.
   I can now edit and see posts in my admin.
 * Thanks again for all who helped me through this. It was a strange, long process.
   But its done now.

 * I asked support at my hosting provider to set the time limits to 10x higher
 * they set them thus:
    ‘ mysql.connect_timeout = 600 max_input_time = 600 default_socket_timeout
   = 600 max_execution_time = 600 ‘ The result of this action is that I can now 
   delete 240 categories at once. There is still a time out after 2 minutes; but
   after 15 minutes those 240 categories have been deleted. Still hoping to find
   a more efficient solution.

   progress. Getting input and feedback from people in these forums.

 * Thanks for the encouragement. It all started with a memory issue. Now I can see
   that the most likely a big part of the memory issue was this ridiculous number
   of categories that need to be read every time anything to do with a post is activated.
 * And I am open to all suggestions as to how to help make what I am doing less 
   cumbersome!

 * Ok. It appears that with a higher number loaded that it will only delete 106 
   categories at a time, which is better than where I started.
 * I’ve also asked my hosting provider to increase the maximum time setting.
 * So not there yet, but slowly making progress

 * Troubleshooting Worpress in the forum, I must say is an awareness building activity!
 * I do believe that even though the delete categories action times out, that the
   process continues regardless. I set the number of categories to 100 and the process
   timed out. But on a refresh of the screen, it does appear, that slowly the number
   of categories is going down. So this is hopeful. The next step is that I will
   increase the number to 999 and see where that takes me. I’ll report back regarding
   failure or success. Thanks.
