Subscribe via RSSHow to Change WPMU Category Name or Slug
April 29, 2008
I tried to edit my Wordpress MU Category information such as category name and category slug. What happened at first is that often the category entry is totally replaced by a Tag entry. Other times, the category record's new information is not saved at all. I troubleshot the problem and here is some temporary solution for a MySQL literate user.
The problem
When attempt to change category name or slug, the category ID is gone and replaced with a new number, which is the ID of an existing tag. The worst thing is that the old misplaced category record completely disappeared from both the blog and the Categories editor page.
