Version 6.4.3

Hi

I have a new blog with three collections. I started with one collection and two categories. I made another collection and moved posts from one category into the new collection, then I deleted the category.

Now I have one category left, with 5 posts. I want to delete it but can't move the posts to the parent collection and delete the category.

Ideas please

Thanks

UPDATE: All I can think of is moving the posts to another collection and then deleting the category or collection. Seems a bit of a walk about
UPDATE: Think it may be due to the blog being a forum :)
UPDATE: Got the look right, without the categories as it was that I had selected Special Front Page
UPDATE: Ok my work around by moving posts and deleting is fine. It may just have been the mismatch of collections.

@amoun I didn't fully understand the problem (I usually do after trying to reproduce it by myself), but after four updates, is it already solved for you?

I'm not sure as I did so many changes to get to where I am.

The problem was trying to move posts out of a name category into an un-named one as is the default option but once a category has been named in the back office there was no way to un-name it.

I could create a new uncategorised category but then it would have that name, not no name.

However by creating a new blog and moving posts to there and fiddling with type blog from forum to standard I got ridof the category on the front page and in the back office by default, but still have the word uncategorised in the front office. Ideally I don't want a category to be called anything, let alone uncategorised, when I don't want a category just posts.

However I don't care at the moment as that blog has moved on to have categories.

I hope that explains that I haven't exactly solved the problem it's just I have more pressing ones to resolve.

Thank you
