Having said that I don't have half so many categories yet.

Every time I locate the number of a category, and go ahead and try to edit it as in giving it its original name, a number is automatically assigned to it, and therefore it has a new url link that differs from the old one because of that number... Say I wanted to name a category: (Review) which is its original name before upgrading and the problem... it will end up being (Review 2) because I think wordpress detects another link with the name review, so it gives it a number which messes everything up! Tried everything to avoid the number being assigned, but no use... Can anyone suggest a solution for that? Thanks... Tried it but I still have one strange problem…
