  Not able to find an edit for category titles. I am sure it is right in front of me but I am just not seeing how to do this.

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

  Hi,

  See the Managing Categories in WP Admin section of the Categories support page.

  Note that you must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered the site to do what I posted below.

  The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:

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

  * You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with your actual blog’s name in that URL.

  If the log-in information is lost you need to visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  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.

  Many thanks TimeThief ! it is working .

  … with some Strange behavior
  first : the site is ,all the time, with https et not http .. but working.
  then
  the “/wp -admin/ first say “sorry , the page is not allowed”, then ” not found” and then … working.. but not all the time

  the final solution is
  “xxx.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php”
  and this sentence is working all the time .

  many thank for your quick answers
