  Hello,
  For some reason my page won’t let me edit some of my categories. I can edit some, but not others, even though there is no difference between them or in the way I created them.

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

  Please read:

  Setting the Default Category
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/#setting-the-default-category

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

  For bulk editing posts see https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/#bulk-edit

  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 in 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.

  The combined total of categories and tags assigned to any post must not exceed 15 or it will not display on WordPress.COM Categories and Tags pages and in the WordPress.COM Reader. Never assign the same keyword as both a category and a tag as they are considered to be the same for search engine purposes.
