Delete Categories

admin – Posts – Categories

The easiest way to delete all the categories is to access the menu categories, then click options on top of the screen and increase the number of categories per page view.

Done that check the little box that has the name tops the list of categories, this will select all categories, depois’vá in mass action and have to delete all.

It can be done from directly in database table where you can delete all categories from category table.

Don’t delete via the database, you’ll not remove any of the relational data by using that method, and you’ll screw up the installation because WordPress must have at least one default category.

Use the admin interface to remove them correctly.

You wanna remove all categories or only those that are empty?

There should be at least one category available for wordpress to work.

Recently, I wanted to remove those empty “post tags” (those that are not referenced to any post) throught phpMyAdmin. This SQL can be changed a bit to delete categories if necessary. But I would not recommend this unless there are 100s of categories that you want to delete.
