  I cannot delete and rename categories that I’ve previously made. I have tried looking it up, but they all say I can do it through my website’s admin but I cannot access my admin. A soon as I log in, it takes me the the stat page.

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

  This will be found in your WP Admin Dashboard; you can access this by adding /wp-admin/ to the end of your website address. For example, http://confidentcookie.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  You can then edit categories under Posts -> Categories in your dashboard. Move your mouse over a category and several options will appear that allow you to edit, quick-edit, or delete that category.

  Does that help any?
