  Hi I reblogged this: http://markthinks.net/2013/02/25/492/ yesterday.

  It has gone onto my blog as uncategorized. However, when I go to edit and then change the category it just reverts to uncategorized each time?

  I reblogged another post from a different blog yesterday and had no problem.

  Any help is appreciated!

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

  I’m sorry to bump this up the queue again, but I’d really like to know if anyone has a solution??

  Maybe this has something to do with the fact that the original blogger didn’t categorize it, therefore it is Uncategorized.

  Hi thanks for your reply.

  They definitely categorized it.

  Plus I managed to changed the category of another reblog as I mentioned.

  Really? when I went to the original, all I saw was they had added a tag, not a category.

  Yes if you go to the top right corner of the blog post page, under information, you’ll see the categories are Art and London.

  Thanks to Nick in support who provided me with this work around:

  “The bug is related to not having anything in the post body…WordPress expects something in there when saving. If you add a small note in the body of the reblogged post, you’ll be able to update the category correctly.”
