    How can I delete a tag? I have several that I misspelled. No one has answered, can they be deleted?

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

  • Hello grevisangel73,

    Yes, tags can be deleted and/or edited.
    You can find the tag manager on Dashboard>Posts>Tags.
    Hover each single tag to see the Edit|Quick Edit|Delete|View options.
    You can also delete the ones you want to get rid of by using the Bulk Actions option.

    Hope it’s all clear :)

    Well I tried that ,but only 5 came up, I deleted one of those, which I did not want to delete, I can not access my entire list, and I don’t know what the bulk action is supposed to do? How do I delete the specific ones that I want deleted through bulk action. I type them in the search box and they do not come up.

  • The bulk action option allows you to delete multiple tags in one go. So if you want to delete 10 tags, you would only need to select each tag you want to delete using the checkbox to the left of the tag name and then from the bulk actions menu select Delete and then click Apply.

    The issue here is that you cannot see the entire list of your tags. Can you double check for me if you’re in the right page? It should be
    https://combingthecatacombs.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=post_tag

    If you still cannot access your entire list of tags, type modlook as a tag of this thread to alert the Staff you require further support.

    I hope that helps and I’m sorry you’re still in trouble with tags!

  • I only see four tags.

    apocalypse

    love

    poetry

    proverbs

    What other tags are you seeing that you cannot delete?

    Are you sure you are not thinking of Categories? You seem to have many more categories:

    I know , that is all I see. I did delete one. I don’t know how I did it but there were five visible at one point. I always use the tag feature. Is the category feature in the same place as tags ?Is it possible if I use the tag feature they will go into categories? If I can delete the ones that are wrong. I just want to correct the ones that I misspelled. Is there any way to know if they are tags or categories.

    You are right they are categories. I just noticed that, so then how do I delete or correct those? I see what I did. Sorry for all the pestering.
