Rename the WordPress Blogroll

Nov 19, 2007 17:11

If you only want one category:

  • Log into your account.
  • Click “Blogroll” at the top of the Administration Screen.
  • Click on “Categories” underneath the Blogroll link.
  • Click the “Edit” link next to Blogroll.
  • Rename the category and change the slug to something similar. If your category is “Fun Stuff,” you might want a slug of “fun-stuff”. Type in a description if you want to (not required), and click “Add Category.”

If you want to have multiple categories:

  • Start by following the steps above for your first category.
  • On the same Blogroll Categories screen, click “Add New.”
  • Fill out the form and click “Add Category.”
  • Click “Manage” and then “Edit” whichever post you want to move to the new category.
  • Check the box next to the category you’re moving the post to, and click Save.

You can use as many categories as you like. Just keep in mind that if you are using Custom Permalinks, the search engines have already made note of where your pages are, and changing the categories will change their addresses. You will need to do a 301 redirect so everyone will know where the posts have moved.

    Your site doesn’t correctly work in safari browser

    If that’s true, then Safari isn’t reading the W3C-validated code correctly. I’ll pull out my old Mac and make some changes when I have a chance. It’s pretty frustrating that you have to make workarounds for every other browser because none of them work the same way.

    There really isn’t anything more to say. You can look on http://www.wordpress.org/ in the Documentation section if you need a more thorough explanation.
