  I want to put my posts into categories but they have already been published and I can’t figure out how to now move them under certain categories. Anybody know how?

  Please paste the exact URL of your blog when asking questions here – or link your nickname to your blog as explained in the Sticky 8 Things to Know. We usually need that to give a relevant answer.

  Posts > Edit > Quick Edit (shows up when you hover under post title) > check/uncheck particular categories > click Update.

  Same thing can be done in the post editor screen of each post, but the Quick Edit is, well, quicker. You only need the post editor if you want to add a new category.
