  Hey there, are you trying to change categories of existing posts? If so you can go to my sites –> blog posts and choose edit under the posts you wish to update. You can either add new categories or select categories that you’ve already created.

  Here’s a support page about categories, but let us know if you still have questions.

  Organize Posts with Categories

  Thanks very much! Does this mean that I cannot modify an existing category, or delete an existing category?

  Nope, you can definitely edit your existing categories! Just go to posts –> categories in your WP admin dashboard and your options will appear when you hover over each category in your list.

  You can find the instructions for that under the “manage categories” section of this page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/2/
