Description
Hi,
We would like to edit slugs for our categories in acert.hunter.cuny.edu
How can we do this? I do not see an option to do this when I edit a category under Posts > Categories.
Thank you,
David

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.

Scratch that - you can't edit your category slugs that way because we've enabled a feature called "global tags". 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.
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.
Hi Boone,
Just wondering about a timeframe for this. I'm holding off on doing anything extensive with categories until this issue has been resolved…
Should we be looking for a plug-in?
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.
