Deleting the only category for posts

If some posts only belong to one category (say, “World”) and one deletes that category, are the posts deleted as well, or are they automatically moved to “General” (not sure if that’s the title in English)?

Thanks in advance for guidance.

Hello Vesa,

Unfortunately, I do not exactly understand what you mean, sorry! Please provide more details about what you want to achieve, provide some useful screenshots so I will be able to provide a more accurate response. Also, you can provide your website URL so I can take a closer look at it and also, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response/code.

Thanks for the message!

We (naturally) have several categories for posts: “Domestic news”, “World news”, “Science news”, etc.

Now, if I delete, for example, the category “Science news”, and some posts were in that category and in no other category, are the posts deleted as well, together with that category?

I hope I managed to be clearer now. If not, please let me know.

Hello,

Deleting a category has no impact on the post themselves. They are simply linked to a category. If the category is removed and that was the only category the posts had selected they will move to the “uncategorized” category.

Thank you!
