Deleting User-made Categories

Erdrix · April 21st, 2015, 06:42 AM

Ok, so I made an article category for haunts to go under Dangers. I was creating the category structure and went to see what it looked like in use. Went back into manage categories and ow I can't delete the snippet types or the category.

Basically I'm barred from deleting my own category.

You can only delete a category if none of them exist.

Make sure you go delete all of the categories that have your custom type. When none of them exist, then you can delete the definition.

Yup, that was it. I had an unnamed haunt. Deleted it and now I can delete those unwanted snippets.

Awesome! Glad to hear it worked.

I think we've all been bitten (and confused) by this at some point.
