Default category name
-
I’m trying change the default category name for my posts from ‘.’ to ‘Archive’. Every time I try to do this my computer seems to free up. Can you help?

Hello again, I’m flagging your thread for Staff attention.
My educated guess is that “Archive” is a reserved name, so you might not be able to use that as a category. However, I could be wrong. Let’s wait for Staff to reply here.
Also, can you explain a little more about why you want your default category as “archive”? What are you trying to accomplish?

I would like to use “Archive” as the default category since the posts are archives of my artwork / news. I don’t think it’s an issue of using that word. I tried changing the name to something else previously and ran into the same issue of the computer just freezing when I tried to save the change of name.
Thanks for your help!

Hi @mariawalker,
Yes, @justjennifer is correct in that
archiveis reserved within WordPress — please consider using something different (e.g.the-archives).With regards to your browser freezing, please try the following:
- Visit https://www.whatsmybrowser.org/ and share the URL next to the green button in your next reply if you still encounter issues.
- Clear your browser cache.
- Try switching your web browser to the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. You might also want to try out the official WordPress.com app.
- Disable any content blockers, such as Adblock, and any other browser extensions.
Hope that helps.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I will try your suggestions.
Is it possible that the change is freezing up since I have many posts (~84) linked with that default category? Many of the posts include photos as well. Not sure if this makes a difference with the update– I’m curious to hear your thoughts.Thanks again,
