Deleting categories

    Hi there,
    I am trying to delete created categories. I have followed any instructions I can see online with this question, however none of them are applicable to the set-up and interface I seem to have (perhaps they are not updated for new layouts or…?).
    Thanks,
    A

    To edit or delete a category assigned to a post (whether it’s a draft or has already been published), go to Posts → All Posts in your dashboard, hover over the title.

    For editing see https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#go-back-and-edit-posts

    To edit/delete categories in your dashboard go to > Dashboard > Posts > Categories

    http://thegntchain.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category

    To edit or delete dynamic category pages from your custom menu go to Dashboard > Appearance > Menus

    Thank you! I was not aware of this new and shiny dashboard view. o.o

    This sounds like a daft question but I cannot find anywhere direct to access this admin dashboard – is there a quick button or link in the main edit/profile page? Thank you.

    Staff removed the convenient link and replaced it on the very bottom of the right-hand column of the My Sites page. As I never go there it
    is useless to me but I have memorized it and that’s easy to do.

    The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:
    http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

    * You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with your actual blog’s name in that URL.
