  I incorrectly spelled a category, I’d like to delete it or rename it but there seems to be no way to do this. After searching there seems to be thousands of others in the same boat. Could you please make it possible to make this simple change.

  Hello asmi8803 ,

  This is what I found:
  “Managing Categories

  The Posts -> Categories page in your dashboard displays all your categories and shows the name, description, and number of posts belonging to each category. If you move your mouse over a category a set of options will appear, allowing you to edit, quick-edit, or delete that category:

  Managing Categories

  If you click on Quick Edit the category will change into an edit box and you can rename the category quickly:

  Quick Edit Category

  If you click on Edit you will taken to a separate page where you can edit the name, parent, and description. This functions exactly the same as adding a category.

  Clicking on Delete will delete that category. When a category is deleted, all posts that were only in that category will be assigned to the default category. If a post was also in other categories it will remain untouched.”

  Found on the link below:
