Hi John,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

From WP Admin -> Toolset -> Taxonomies, you can delete the custom taxonomies registered through Toolset Types, but not the default "Categories" and "Tags" taxonomies. They are by default registered by WordPress and to remove them you'll need to include some custom code.

Here are some useful resources on the topic:

I entered Categories in the "Categories" Taxonomy name. Can you please inform me how to change this.
Thank you
John

Thanks for writing back.

Did you try the code from one of those links and it didn't work?

If yes, can you please share the exact code that you used and let me know how you included it on the website?

Thanks for the answer Waqar,
I am such a newbie to word press and Toolset that I have not arrived at this stage and have no idea how to do what you request.

If you give me some instructions I may be able to andwer better.

I could go back to square 1 and rebuild another site and not enter "category" in the category entry form.

Is there a reserved word list for wordpress?

Regards
John.

No worries John and I'll be happy to assist you through this.

To better understand what we're discussing, can you please share the temporary admin login details of your website?
( you can create a new WordPress user using any email address and make sure that this user has the "administrator" role. I'll just need the username and the password )

Please also include the exact link to the item that you'd like to be removed and I'm setting your next reply as private.
