<ul></ul><p>Hi David - I don't think WP has any built in functionality to change a category slug. You can, of course always create a new category, and re-categorize your posts.</p>
<p>There are a couple plugins you might consider - some get rid of the category base in the url (<a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-category-url/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-category-url/</a> or <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-taxonomy-base-slug/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-taxonomy-base-slug/</a>, another seems to allow you to totally change the slug (<a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-category-pages/screenshots/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-category-pages/screenshots/</a>).</p>
<p>Can you take a look to see if any of these suits your needs. Thanks.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #3929: Possible to change category slugs?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3929?journal_id=187432015-03-21T18:54:47ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<ul></ul><p>If I understand correctly, you should be able to go to Dashboard > Posts > Categories, then click on the category name in question, to pull up a screen where you can edit the category name, slug, or description.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #3929: Possible to change category slugs?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3929?journal_id=187442015-03-21T18:59:24ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es

Let me look further into this - we don't actually use this feature on the Commons, so I can probably turn it off so that you can edit slugs on your local site.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #3929: Possible to change category slugs?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3929?journal_id=188022015-03-23T21:43:17ZGina Cherry
<ul></ul><p>Thanks Boone and Scott. We're planning to use categories quite extensively, so it will be important for us to be able to edit the slugs. If you can't turn off "global tags," then we would like to install a plug-in with this functionality.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #3929: Possible to change category slugs?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3929?journal_id=188422015-03-30T18:48:34ZGina Cherry
<ul></ul><p>Hi Boone,</p>
<p>Just wondering about a timeframe for this. I'm holding off on doing anything extensive with categories until this issue has been resolved…</p>
<p>Should we be looking for a plug-in?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #3929: Possible to change category slugs?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3929?journal_id=188442015-03-30T19:28:08ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<ul></ul><p>Hi Gina - I'm going to try to fix this for the April 1 release. I don't think it will be possible to use a plugin to work around this (at least not one that I'd feel comfortable using) - it's going to run up against the same "global terms" problem as you're seeing now. Please stay tuned for updates.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #3929: Possible to change category slugs?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3929?journal_id=188702015-04-02T00:47:47ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>Assigned</i> to <i>Resolved</i></li></ul><p>I've run through the codebase to make sure that global terms were not, in fact, being used anywhere. Looks like we're in the clear. I've disabled them in <a class="external" href="https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/ce1c373b2c967e152adf7e3d631a373853c4a618">https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/ce1c373b2c967e152adf7e3d631a373853c4a618</a>. After tonight's release, you'll be able to edit term slugs.</p>
