At the bottom of the list of categories, you can convert the categories to Tags.

See the image below:


Click on Categories and Tags Converter.

This is a quick process, and the next page looks like the next image below (converter).

Excellent sharing. It is much easier to do than I manually do post by post. Thank you.

I asked Jay about this and he said that if you delete categories, it may cause some 404 errors, so you would need to create some redirects.

@Dhind1You can remove categories if you want, but be aware that it would create some 404 errors. So you would need to create some redirects.

If I can use the tag to category convertor, would the same problem exist? I would still in effect be deleting the category.

With the converter, you aren't deleting the categories, you are switching them.

Whether or not your posts are tagged, or have categories attached will determine whether the page in Not Found. Thats an easy fix by adding a category to the page.

Your content is still available, not missing.

Some of my posts were not tagged and the page appeared as Not Found, until I added a relative category, saved it and the page appeared under the category.
