  I cannot change the name of ‘uncategorized’ category. Whenever I try to rename and save it, it stops working and it does not save my change. Why is this happening and how can I solve it?

  Hello,

  Can you please share your site’s address?

  You can rename the uncategorized category, go to My Site → Manage → Settings, click on the Writing tab, click on the uncategorized option, you will get the option to edit or rename.

  You can read more about it in this support document here:
  https://wordpress.com/support/posts/categories/#assigning-default-category

  I tried this on my test site and I could rename the uncategorized category.

  You can try clearing the browser cache in your browser.

  You can find more information on how to clear the browser cache depending on your browser in this support document here:

  Also, I would like you to know that these forums are for WordPress.com sites.

  If your site is using the WordPress.org software you can ask for help here:

  Hi,
  thank you so much for reply. Yes I have tried exactly what you have told, but it did not work nor working now. Whenever I try to rename the category, the page freezes.
  my site address is https://rongtulycreation.wordpress.com/
  I have tried to clear browser cache, still I could not rename the uncategorized.
