Cotegories – Unable to Remove. Old Account

Delete 1 old category, how simple could that be, but no.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
Well, it doesnt really give the option to Delete the category. Only to choose Default Post Category. But thanks for fast response, I still need a help.

1. To edit or delete a category assigned to a post (whether it’s a draft or has already been published), go to Dashboard → Posts → All Posts in your dashboard, hover over the title and click the Edit link. To delete the post click the Trash link.
For editing posts in the new editor see https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#go-back-and-edit-posts
For bulk editing posts see https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/#bulk-edit
2. To edit/delete categories in your dashboard go to Dashboard → Posts → Categories
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category
* You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with your actual blog’s name in that URL.
3. To edit or delete dynamic category pages in your custom menu go to Dashboard > Appearance > Menus
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php
* You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with your actual blog’s name in that URL.
4. To edit or delete Tags go to
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=post_tag* You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with your actual blog’s name in that URL.

If you do not succeed then know that Volunteers do not have access to private sites and do not ask for access to be provided. Staff can access all sites. So you type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up.

Thanks. It didnt worked just as I thought. I can make site Public if it’s necessary. The wierd of all is that if I go that link to menus:
http://vivako.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=categoryYes it’s correct for editing and indeed deleting the Categories, but that one category I ask to be deleted DOES NOT have delete option!
I’m waiting for Staff to help. Im subscribed both email and to that thread.
Thanks -
but that one category I ask to be deleted DOES NOT have delete option!
Then it sounds like it must be a default category and what you have to do is to assign another default category first to be able to delete it.
-
Oh yes! That’s true! One more question. Is there always should be one default category? Can I make I Post or Repost aka Share without attaching any category? And add cotegory later.

See: Setting the Default Category https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/#setting-the-default-category
The default category can be changed under Settings → Writing in your dashboard.

Well, it doesn’t really give the option to Delete the category. Only to choose Default Post Category
The instructions for the “My Site” dashboard are correct. Is suspect you perhaps haven’t got any categories to delete apart from the default one but as your site is private I can’t check. Staff can see your private site however.
