  I want to change the category (currently linked to a draft post) ‘repurposed objects’ to ‘Repurposed objects’ – it just needs an initial cap. How can I do this? Every time I delete the draft post and start again the category comes back with as small ‘r’.

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

  Hello there!

  You will need to make this adjustment on your Category settings page, rather than within your post.

  To do that, click this link:
  https://objectsspeak.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category

  Hover your cursor over repurposed objects and click Edit. Change the name of the Category as you’d like, then click the Update button.

  When you return to your post, you should now be given the option to add the Category with the capitalization you prefer.

  That should do the trick! If I can help in any other way, please drop me a line. Cheers :)
