   hi
   I was going to convert 4 of my 20+ categories to tags as I've used those 4 only once & won't be using them frequently. But as I clicked the button to convert(after selecting 4 categories), it converted all my categories to tags & now all my categories are gone!! :( :(

   I've 170+ posts & re-creating categories & re-assigning them would be very very difficult. Can you guys please look into it & restore my categories?

   thanks in advance! :)

   Contact staff during their office hours using the Support button on your Dashboard. That's the most efficient way to report a problem.
