Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:45 pm

If you’re using WooCommerce to sell products on your WordPress site, then you may need to occasionally edit your product categories. This can be done from the WordPress Dashboard. Here’s a quick guide on how to do it:

1. Log in to your WordPress Dashboard and go to Products > Categories. Here you’ll see a list of all the existing categories.

2. To edit an existing category, hover over it and click Edit. Alternatively, you can click Add New Category to create a new category.

3. Make the necessary changes to the category and then click Update. That’s it!

Editing categories in WooCommerce is a simple process that can be done from the WordPress Dashboard. Just follow the steps above and you’ll be able to manage your product categories with ease.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to edit your WooCommerce categories, it is important to note that this can have a negative impact on your store’s performance. In particular, if you change the slug (URL) of a category, this can break any links that have been shared to that category page. As a result, it is advisable to only make changes to your categories if absolutely necessary.
