I was wondering if this is possible at the moment, because if it is I may have missed something? I needed to change an article’s Discourse category so I assumed selecting the dropdown for a different category and hitting the update button would re-assign it. This didn’t happen. The only way I could fix it was by deleting a row in the DB and then re-assigning it. Would this functionality be difficult to implement? Maybe a box that says ‘Re-assign category’ that could be ticked in the Discourse pane on each post would work. It then overwrites the Discourse category ID in the Wordpress DB. I understand comments wouldn’t be carried over, but as a simplistic option this would be a nice to have 😃 --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/reassigning-discourse-category-on-wordpress-published-article/50018)._
