Hm….

I used phpmyadmin for backing up the DB and then running the query. Thanks, will give it a try, your help is much appreciated.

When I hover over a Category name’s “Edit” link, I get this URL

https://www.domain.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?action=edit&taxonomy=category&post_type=post&tag_ID=4

When I hover over a Tag name’s “Edit” link, I get this URL

https://www.domain.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?action=edit&taxonomy=post_tag&post_type=post&tag_ID=4

Now, how do i get the correct ID’s as you said .

Another thing which I noticed is that some of my tags and categories have the same ID

Example:

I have a category named “Internet” as well as a tag named “Internet”. Both are having the ID 3.

Before running your code, I deleted the “Internet” tag and created a new tag with the same name but a different URL ( e.g Internet-tips). This time the tag ID was 557. If I ever create a new tag and name the slug as “Internet”, the ID becomes 3 which is equal to the ID of the “Internet” category.

I hope my explanation is not confusing.

Didn’t worked.

1st query executes successfully, when I run the second one, it shows “0 rows inserted”

Your help is much appreciated.
