  Hi everyone,

  It’s been 4 years since I used WordPress and decided to start up a new blog. I noticed on my admin panel I can go to publish and under it is blog posts and an add button. I can select tags and categories. However when I am in the categories the only option I have is to add a category, either as parent or as a child to one of the other existing categories.

  I remember there used to be a place where I can manage all the categories, I cannot seem to find it with this new layout. If anyone can help me in finding out where I can rename a category I would appreciate it greatly!

  Thanks,

  Dave

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

  The video and link that you supplied is not the same user interface that I have for my wordpress. That was the User Interface when I used wordpress a few years back.

  I made a blog post showing the user interface I have. If you have a video or link on how to access categories in the one I have, or how to change back to the old one I would be very grateful! :)

  Found it… it wasn’t adding /wp-admin for some reason.
