HOW DO I REMOVE CATEGORIES FROM THE LIST IN THE DROP DOWN ‘DINGAAS’ I HAVE CREAT
-
Q&A shows how to add a category
But doesn’t say how to remove them
[I’m NOT talking about un-selecting them by removing the tick in the wee box!]
DINGAAS = THING/THINGIE/THINGY/WHAT CHA MA CALL IT/DON’T KNOW WHAT THE THING IS CALLED! [ In africaans one of the south african languages]WHERE DO I FIND THE EDITOR OF THE CATAGORIES?
WordPress Q&A only has – how to add – but not – remove – them [not remove them by using the tick!]

Do you want to remove the categories from the blog posts as well, or just from the drop-down list?

hi raincoaster
ONLY from the drop down list
i have loads of them that i won’t ever use
because i decided to use capital letters for the categories – a design decision!
when i enter a new post and open the categories drop down list i have to scroll past the dead wood to seek out those that are in caps.
i’m surprised that the categories editor to remove them is hidden so well!
thanx
i am prepared for the possibility that it can’t be done -
I did a search and it looks like that’s not an option:

You can delete categories under “Manage” > “Categories”, whatever you mean with dropdown dingaas.
By the way, capitalizing is a rather bad design decision, first of all because it reduces readability and second, because it looks as if you were shouting. You can use it in your blog, but please, don’t use it on this forum. -
thanx raincoaster
i tried to send you a “short message” in the css window
but opera doesn’t seem to be compatable with it
i’ve obviously got some setting somwhere that’s off or on! -
