  Hi there,

  There are a number of ways to do this. For one, you can select a specific post at Site > Posts and open the posts settings are on the right hand side. You’ll see an option to uncheck categories from there.

  Perhaps you’re looking to remove certain categories altogether. If so, you can bulk edit/delete them in WP Admin, as described here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/#bulk-actions

  Let us know if you need any further clarification.

  Thank you. I’m accessing the WordPress app and WordPress.com from my mobile phone. So I don’t see the options that you’ve mentioned above.

  I am also to use the mobile app as part of my demo to others. This is rather awkward.

  Hi jotanacta,

  I’m afraid it’s not currently possible to manage categories through the app, only select a default category — this is on our list of possible improvements for the future though.

  In the meantime, the following link can pasted into the browser on your phone:

  Are you using the Android or iOS app? Just so I can pass on your feedback and mention which version of the app you are asking about :)
