  I am having problems with categories. When I first started my blog, I set up some hierarchies but didn’t like them. I deleted categories and rebuilt them without a parent. Now the slug for the category shows as “categoryname-2” which means it doesn’t show in the Reader under categoryname. I have tried deleting them and adding them back but they consistently have the extra number. Is there any way to fix this?

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

  Please check to make sure that you don’t have any tags with the same slug, as tags and categories share the same slug system.

  I do have four tags with the same name as categories. I have tried to fix one of the categories by eliminating all the uses of the tag. It now works. Thanks!
