Before you continue here, make sure you make sure you don’t have any posts or pages using this slug already. This means that you can’t have the same slug for a tag as you have for a category.

*** Back up your database!!!

Log in to phpMyAdmin, and click on the table, “wp_terms” on the left. This table holds the values of the names and slugs for all your taxonomies. Look for the slug you are trying to change your category to. Click the X to delete this old version of the taxonomy you are trying to use.
Now you need to take a look at all your posts and pages to make sure you haven’t screwed up your links and/or architecture. Many times WordPress will redirect for you, but it’s always best to make sure.

It was entitled "Jim Morrison's grave". I then created this new category: http://jimmorrisonsparis.com/category/jims-grave/, "Jim's grave". But I want to rename it to "Jim Morrison's grave", (like 1st category name), but I get the message I mentioned above. This is the first time I've had a problem like this. Maybe it's a bug?

Please post an active link starting with http:// to this Category you are describing.

That is not my problem. It is rather a category that somehow stopped working. All my other categories were fine, just one became a blank page, no RSS feed either. I just discovered this today. (And my category with the most posts too. Bummer.)
Anyway, my problem is, when I try to change a category name, I get an "item not updated" message.
Thanks for you earlier response.

So I created a new (temp) category and changed posts accordingly to solve the problem. But now I would like to change the temp category back to the original name. But I get the message "Item not updated" when I try to edit. Thanks for any help on either issue.
