I understand the compatibility issues, but I wasn’t suggesting removing the use of jQuery 1.x entirely, just giving us the option to use jQuery 2.x. Essentially a “backwards compatible” vs “modern” checkbox would be nice.

As for the other issues, fair enough, I’ll take a look at the upcoming release. I do appreciate the functionality that the plugin offers, but in some cases I just can’t compromise on performance and so have to do without it.

Ha! Thank you. I think I ever looked at those options like maybe two or three times in the several years I’ve been using WP ?? no sure how they got turned off but thanks again.

Well, I still don’t know what it was but it seemed that the categories have been restored. Now, if only I knew what caused the problem in the first place I could avoid it in the future.

I’m having the same issue. The only difference is that I still see the tags on the tags page, and they still show counts for how many posts a tag is assigned to, however when I go to posts page they all show no tags assigned.

Here’s some details…

My blog is at https://iliadraznin.com/ and I was in the process of installing a new theme and as part of that was editing posts. Theme installation went without a hitch and as I was editing the posts categories were still all there. Then at some point I noticed that they were gone.
The last thing I did before this happened was edit a post, I was fixing some link codes and editing captions for images – nothing that should’ve affected the categories.

Some stuff I discovered as I was trying to figure out what’s going on.

The summary on the dashboard page shows the correct number of categories.
When I try to edit posts I can add a tag using the “most used tags” option but after I update the post it is again showing untagged.
When I tried adding a category I had before it told me it already exists so it is somewhere in there.
When I added a new category it let me do that, and incremented category count. It even showed it initially when the page did the ajax refresh, however when I reloaded the categories page it disappeared.

Finally I checked the database, and compared to my local copy (which is almost identical and is showing the categories) they both seem to have the correct entries for the categories (wp_terms table).
