  I changed the names of my categories but when I click on the category it still says the old category name in small writing above it. I could explain better if I show the screenshot. So, my posts that I’ve written and put into the new categories name are not there or anywhere on my site but still there in the correct category when I edit. How can I fix this?

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

  Hi there,

  What are the names of the categories you changed?
  If you want to share a screenshot of what you are describing, you can upload it to your media library and I can access it there.

  Thanks,

  It’s this page. The category is ‘Fashion & K-Beauty’ but it says ‘Fashion and Beauty’ underneath it on ‘Category: Fashion & Beauty’

  Thank you for the link. Displaying both categories is happening because the old one, Fashion and Beauty has not been deleted. It’s still active. See here:

  The easiest way to fix this is to just uncheck the display of categories from the customizer. I’ve done that for you via https://ashp0tter.wordpress.com/wp-admin/customize.php That feature is under Content Options.
