How to Fix the Category Not Updated Bug in WordPress

WordPress refuses to update your post category if you have a tag slug and post category slug with the same name. You have to make some sacrifices here until WordPress fixes this limitation. Here are some probably solutions for this:

  • Edit the category slug to a different name
  • Edit the tag slug to a different name
  • Delete the tag
  • Delete the category

I hope WordPress fixes this bug. I find it very irritating and weird.
