Commas in Category Names
-
For the last five years commas in category names have not been a problem. I have known about commas separating tags for a long time, of course, but the technology at WordPress has supported a comma inside a category name until a few days ago. For example, recently I updated ORDINARY TIME DEVOTIONS and added posts to the category “Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Lectionary, Year A.” After I published I learned that WordPress technology had created two new categories–“Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Lectionary” and “Year A”–and added the posts to them. So I moved the posts into the correct category and deleted the new categories.
I had a similar problem when I updated http://blogatheologica.wordpress.com/. An addition to the category “Leviticus, Book of” wound up not there but in the new WordPress-created categories “Leviticus” and “Book of.” I moved the post into the correct category and deleted the new categories.
I took the opportunity to relabel categories in my eight weblogs to remove commas and even to merge two categories at BLOGA THEOLOGICA. Occasional weblog maintenance is positive, so something good came out of all this.
My point, however, is that, sometimes, when you change software, you create nuisances for the rest of us. This, I am sure, is never your intention, but I write of consequences. Please consider this technological reality more in the future.
