  Hi
  The support I find about deleting a category, or renaming it, refers to the option ‘quick edit’ which I can’t find.
  I click ‘blog post’ and I only get ‘edit’, ‘view’, ‘stats’ and ‘trash’
  When I am editing, I can change category of course, but the old category name remains in the list and can still be found in the drop down list on our blog. That is not the intention.
  So how can I either rename an existing category or delete a category?
  Thanks for your help!
