  I combined multiple blogs and imported them into WordPress. Now I am trying to clean up old posts, which all have the category “Uncategorized” I want to be able to search on the back end, by category, so I can just have that list to work through. Why doesn’t this seem to be possible?

  Am I missing how to do this?

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

  Hi,

  Yes, you can gather the posts by category on the backend, but it’s in a slightly different place than you might expect. From your dashboard, go to My Site -> Manage -> Settings, then under Writing, you should find links to your categories and tags, and the posts therein.

  Here’s a little more information about bulk category editing: https://wordpress.com/support/posts/categories/

  Hope this helps!
