Just find the category you wish to select a parent for, and then click on edit. Then select the Parent you want, and press save. This should still work even though there are posts already.

If it doesn't, then you could create another category, with the parent already added, and then just add the posts to that category (though you'll have to be careful about it turning into "category x-2").

I am quite new to wordpress, and haven't found the answer in the help center -
I have a list of categories, but I want to take an existing category (that is already connected to several posts) and nest it under another category.

how do I do this?

The troubleshooting did not change things, the Like button shows with "loading" next to the Like button. Also, the Like/Unlike button does not show up in the administrator bar at the top of the page.

It's could be that your have an issue at your end of things though. Please try some troubleshooting to see if your can clear this up.

If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

Note: If you are using an IE9 browser in compatibility mode that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported. To disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com please do these four things:

1. Try clearing your browser’s cache:

Is something going on with wordpress? The 'like' button continuously says "loading" next to it, and I can't click on it or see the 'likes' of people who have clicked 'like' on my posts. I can't 'like' anyone else's posts either. Yet, my blogger friends tell me they are not having this problem.

I tried signing in and signing out. I tried rebooting my computer, to no avail. I'm thinking something is happening with wordpress regarding my sign-in name, because I'm not having any other problems with my computer.

Any suggestions on how to get this to work again?

Thanks,
Lori

But there is one link for a page which which comes up as a 404 and I think its for a specific image/post which is now not coming up on the search and directed to my site?

What's the URL of the page which results in a 404 error?

Improve its layout

You can view over 200 themes at our Theme Showcase to select a theme for your WordPress.com blog.

Put a banner up

If the theme supports a custom header image, you can upload that in Appearance -> Themes in your dashboard.

Improve the way my content is displayed

Anything specific?

Add any type of widgets/features which would enhance it

What type of enhancements did you have in mind?

We have no control over which images Facebook chooses to display and we have no control over how long it takes for the image caches at Facebook to be flushed.

They make changes frequently and what follows may or may not be where they are at today:

Only the first five images uploaded to a post (direct inclusion/gallery/slideshow) will be sent to Facebook. The images size has to be at least 200 x 200 pixels.
To select which image will be used for things like Facebook Publicize, you can use a theme that supports featured images. http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/ If a featured image isn’t set or your theme doesn’t use featured images, then the code tries to pick the first image in the post or page.
