Delete Uncategorized
While writing a blog post in wordpress, if you do not create a new category or miss to change the category to some other category you created, wordpress categorizes the post as Uncategorized.
A blog post under the category ‘Uncategorized’ does not look too professional. So I thought I would share how you could get rid of ‘Uncategorized’.
Step 1
In your wordpress Dashboard left panel, go to Posts >> Categories
Step 2
In the name field just below ‘Add New Category’, type the name of category of your choice, example – Miscellaneous.

Step 3
In the Dashboard left panel, click on Settings >> Writing
Under ‘Default Post Category’, select any Category you already created. I am selecting Miscellaneous
Click on Save Changes button at bottom.
Step 4
Go back to Posts >> Categories If you bring your mouse over ‘Uncategorized’, you’ll see ‘Delete’ option. Click on it and ‘Uncategorized’ is gone forever.
