    Hi, I have a big blog with hundreds of posts. I have to delete a category and move the posts to a different category.

    Can you explain better the meaning of the option “If the post contains other categories, then ….” ?

    Let’s say I have 3 categories:
    AAAA – it has 500 posts
    BBBB – it has 400 posts
    CCCC – it has 200 posts

    I want to delete category CCCC and assign all those posts to category AAAAA.
    100 posts of CCCC are only in category CCCC.
    50 posts of CCCC are in CCCC, BBBB
    50 posts of CCCC are in CCCC, AAAA and BBBB

    If I select in the left column CCCC and in the right column AAAA what will happen to the: 100 posts that are only in CCCC, to the 50 that are in CCCC and BBBB and to the 50 that are in all the categories already?

    Assuming CCCC left and AAAA in the right, the following will be the result based on your selection for “If the post contains other categories, then”

    Remove them

    If you choose this option then after moving this will be the status

    – 100 posts that had only CCCC before will be change to only AAAA
    – 50 posts that were in both CCCC and BBBB will be changed only to AAAA
    – 50 posts that had CCCC, AAAA and BBBB will be changed only to AAAA

    Don’t remove them

    If you choose this option then after moving this will be the status

    – 100 posts that had only CCCC before will be change to only AAAA
    – 50 posts that were in both CCCC and BBBB will be changed to AAAA and BBBB
    – 50 posts that had CCCC, AAAA and BBBB will be changed only to AAAA and BBBB

    Hope that clears your confusion. Let me know if you still have any questions.
