  I’ve edited and updated the names of the categories for my blog, but for some reason when I go to view my blog they either didn’t change or don’t show up at all or show up wrong.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  How are you editing the categories? Are you doing it as explained here? http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/#managing-categories

  For categories, the category name has to be unique and not similar to any other category or tag name. If you have tags that are the same name, you might want to just convert them to categories.

  Let me know if that works!

  Hi,

  Thanks for your response!

  Yes, I updated them exactly the way the described in the link, both through quick edit and edit.

  The categories have names that are unique and not like any other tags. When I go to view the categories from my blog they seem a little glitchy, they’re either the old names or just blank spaces.

  What category name are you editing and what do you want the new category name to be?
