update_wp_cat: Update a WordPress Category

In wordpressr: An API Wrapper for WordPress Site APIs

Description

Update the name, description, or slug of a category in your WordPress site.

Usage

update_wp_cat(
  domain,
  user,
  pass,
  tag_id,
  tag_name,
  tag_slug,
  tag_description,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

domain	The domain on which you wish to update the given category.
user	The username to be passed into the API call to update the category.
pass	The password to be used in the API call to update the category. To get this value, you must have the Application Passwords plugin installed, and must create an application using that plugin via your WordPress admin panel; there you will get the password needed.
tag_id	The ID of the category desired to be updated in the WordPress site's database.
tag_name	The desired name of the category that users will see on the WordPress site.
tag_slug	The slug to be associated with the WordPress category. Change with caution, as changing the slug may result in URLs being broken.
tag_description	The description of the category; this value will be used wherever the description of the WordPress category is used (perhaps in your theme).
verbose	Defaults to TRUE; determines whether or not the desired category name and slug will be printed in the console. Potentially useful if employing this function in a loop in which many categories will be updated at once.

Value

response from the API. 200 means success – the category was updated!
