Hi all,
I am trying to remove "archived" category from my website. But I don't see that option. Thanks for any help.

Hi Brenda,
Great question! If you’re looking to remove the “Archive” category from your website, there are a couple of ways to approach it depending on the platform you’re using (I’ll assume WordPress since it's commonly used here at WA).
Check Your Widgets:
Go to Appearance > Widgets in your WordPress dashboard.
Look for the “Archives” widget in any of your active widget areas (e.g., sidebar, footer).
If it’s there, click on it and remove it. This will take the archive display off your site.
Disable the Archives Page (if applicable):
Some themes automatically create an archives section. If it’s generated by your theme, you may need to adjust this under Theme Options or contact the theme support for specific guidance.
Edit Menus (if included):
Check your site’s navigation under Appearance > Menus. If “Archives” is listed in your menu, remove it here.
If none of these work, feel free to share more details (theme, plugins, etc.), and I’d be happy to guide you further!
Best wishes,
Tommy
Hi Tommypotter,
many thanks for this advice. . . is there any risk of deleting the posts when I delete it?

Hey Brenda,
Here's another means of deleting categories, as you did not mention if you're using a plugin to Archive or not.
Hope you find this helpful.
This ONLY deletes the category NOT the posts/pages... just so you know.
DO check to see which category your content previously labeled was moved to automatically and change it if necessary.
You can also EDIT it... as in change what label you want your content labeled under rather than what it is labeled as now.

Hi All,
I would like to know if I have to manually send my subscribers notification of new posts or if they automatically receive a notification of new posts on my websi
You have FANTASTIC responses here; kindly let us know if you require additional assistance.
There are a couple of ways to do this. You can use the automatic RSS email feed built into WordPress. It sends out updates whenever you publish a new blog post. You can set this up, and it will send automatic emails to your subscribers.
Or, if your subscribers opt-in for push notifications through their devices, you can send new post notifications that way.
Noptin is a reliable plugin that used to offer auto new post notifications. While I haven’t checked into it recently, it was a popular and affordable option. It could still be an option that fits your needs.
I hope this helps.

Many thanks for your help Nancy. I really appreciate your help and support. Have a lovely day.

Hi phil1944, many thanks for your prompt response. I was notified by WordPress of their subscription. No I don't have an autoresponder database. Is that available as a plugin?
Notified by WordPress? How? Email, message on your website or what? That sounds a bit strange. Can you attach a screenshot?
Autoresponders are available as paid apps, not plugins but to use one, you have to create a form on your website to collect visitors' names and email addresses and give them a reason to fill them in, typically a lead magnet that you give away in exchange.
So it's not trivial.
I use a different one, but the most popular autoresponder is probably AWeber. A search will find a lot of information about it.
