  What I post below applies only to sites hosted by wordpress.COM. It does not apply to wordpress.ORG software installs.

  You must be logged in under the exact same username that registered the site to be able to access the site. The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  *Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your blog.

  I recommend bookmarking that link or memorizing it.

  If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies and then login correctly under the relevant username account.

  If the login information has been lost go to
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#lost-password

  If required use the account recovery form

  After you have access read what follows.

  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 post in the new editor see https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#go-back-and-edit-posts

  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 from 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.
