When you say “change”, what do you mean? You can’t delete your default category but you can rename it.
Hi,
IT is a default category so you can not delete it. But you can rename it with your desired category name.
Thanks,

This is NOT TRUE. I change the name, and it does not “take”. I know I can not delete it, but it will NOT let me change the name. This is even after I have removed ALL posts associated with its name. It is maddening!
For fun, just installed 2.9-rare. The install creates one post assigned to the Uncategorized category and it sets the Default Post Category to that category. Renamed that category to News. Then created a 2nd category called Portfolio, changed the Default Post Category to Portfolio, and deleted Uncategorized. The one post got assigned the Portfolio category, and Uncategorized got deleted.
You can delete a category, but as esmi stated, you can’t delete the category as long as it is designated the Default Post Category.
You can also rename a category even while it is the Default Post Category.
