Categories Missing from Manage > Categories page

  • Hello,
    I recently upgraded to 2.3.2 and everything seemed like it was fine. I was able to write posts and do everything else I wanted to do. However, I just tried adding a new category for the first time since the upgrade and noticed a problem.

    My category page is completely empty. I don’t see them nor can I add a new category. I do however see the categories on my site and I can categorize a new post with the old categories. I can even add new ones in the new post window. I just can’t use the manage categories page. This is a problem because I would like to create some subcategories. Does anyone know how to resolve this? I searched on the forums and found a few similar threads like this one:

    But none with a resolution I could use. Please note that I am not the most technically savvy user in the world so be gentle ??

    I figured it out. Looks like it was a plugin that was causing the issue when I upgraded. Got rid of the plug in and categories appeared.

    gjosefsberg, I got the same problem, do you know which plugin causes this?
    Is deactivating the plugin enough? Or should you delete the plugin?
    Thanks,
    Robert

    Re: WordPress categories do not show up on my blog

    I’m having a problem displaying more than one category. From some of the other message boards I’ve read, I can see that other people are having a similar problem.

    I go to the admin Dashboard and open the Categories page. I can add new categories and sub-categories here, but they never show up on the blog page. I am able to edit the original (“uncategorized”) category to another name, but that is all.

    I “repaired” all of my MySQL tables, as suggested, but this didn’t help. By the way, I don’t see a wp_category table in my database (described in some older documentation), but I do see the name of my (missing) category in the wp_terms table as well as the description of the (missing) category in the wp_term_taxonomy table.

    These are the 10 tables in my MySQL database:

    wp_comments
    wp_links
    wp_ptions
    wp_postmeta
    wp_post
    wp_terms
    wp_termwp_relationships
    wp_termwp_taxonomy
    wp_metadata
    wp_users

    I think I’m using 2.7. I installed it through the GoDaddy interface.

    Can anyone help me? Thanks !!!
