Editing categories in WordPress is a straightforward process. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Log in to your WordPress Dashboard: This is the first step to managing anything on your WordPress site.
2. Navigate to Categories: Go to Posts > Categories on the dashboard’s left-hand side menu. This opens the categories page where you can manage all your categories.
Edit a Category
- Find the category you want to edit from the list.
- Hover over the category name, and you’ll see a few options, click ‘Edit’.
- This takes you to the editing screen where you can change the category name, slug (the URL-friendly version of the name), parent category, and description.
- Save Changes: After making your edits, click the ‘Update’ button at the bottom to save your changes.
That’s it! You’ve successfully edited a category in WordPress. Remember, changes to categories (like renaming them) can affect your site’s structure and SEO, so plan your changes carefully.
