When you create a post on WordPress and publish your post without selecting a category, you’re post by default gets placed under “Uncategorized”.

However this “Uncategorized” category seems very unprofessional and frowned open by seasoned bloggers. Unfortunately you can’t just delete this category but you can easily rename it to anything you would like. You can name it “Other”, “Miscellaneous” or something else much more creative.

To rename the Uncategorized Category simply go to your dashboard under “Posts” and click “Categories”.

Once in the Categories section hover your cursor over “Uncategorized” and click on “Edit”.

The “Edit Category” section for that particular category should appear and from there you can change the name from Uncategorized to any name of your choice. I would recommend to change the slug to the same name for consistency. Be sure to keep the slug lowercase. Once done click update and your Uncategorized Category has now been changed.
