In addition to Updating Failed
First, try MANUALLY updating. Download WordPress again and unzip it, and use that to copy up. Access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics on these), and delete then replace your copies of everything on the server EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings. (NOTE: do not delete the?wp-content?directory or your?wp-config.php?file). Please read the Manual Update directions first.
Backup: If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong. You can never have enough backups!

“Hi @gatehealing,

Thanks. The trouble is, I did exactly that, and there is only a link that reads “create new category.” That’s it. No categories are listed where they are supposed to be.
Thx

Did all of that. I can see the categories section, but none of my categories are listed, but they are def there as I can go to edit them where I created them. As Matt says, I can see them in quick edit.

“The categories would only not display if you somehow turned off ‘show in rest’ for them. Are you using a plugin that blocks or edits the rest api?”
I have no security plugins, have tried disabling all plugins and I have checked my .htaccess to see if anything is blocking, and there just isn’t, unless i am missing something. I think perhaps rather than users somehow turning off ‘show in rest’ that perhaps the product still has a few bugs to be worked out.
