Description (last modified by )
I'm using WordPress multi-sites and in one of the 300 sites when I want to edit a category or a tag, I get error message "You need a higher level of permission. Sorry, you are not allowed to edit this item."
As I saw in the bug #46297, I used the plugin wp-find-shared-terms (https://github.com/jjeaton/wp-find-shared-terms) and click "Split shared items" button, but it splits none :
Splitting all shared terms
Process complete!
Processed: 42
Split: 0
Skipped: 42
Errors: 0
And the bug remains when I want to edit a category (I get the error message "You need a higher level of permission. Sorry, you are not allowed to edit this item.").

Thank you,
But when you try the solution described in https://stackoverflow.com/a/44175853/11848895, you lose data:
For example, I have the bug with a category A and a tag with the same name A and I have to choose wich one I have to deleted to solve the bug.
If I choose for example to delete the tag, I lose association of all my posts with the tag A...
Is there any solution without losing data ?
