Found it – the theme is a customized 3rd party one. Got a fresh copy and it solved the problem.

Now just need to recall all the customization!

Just tried a full upgrade via FTP and this has made no difference. I’ve also tried using an alternative browser but still get nothing.

I’ve just tried renaming the plug-in folder via FTP, and that makes zero difference to this problem.

Thanks, but I’ve already tried disabling all the plug-ins, as I said in my initial post.

One new quirk I have found is that if I use the ‘quick post’ function I can add tags. However, that’s not the most efficient use of my time.

thanks @ryanmc! All solved. I love the Simple Tags plugin.

yes, solved.

They’d actually moved me a few days back, but clearly didn’t send me an email to say so… grrr.

It doesn’t, but my server company has suddenly moved me to a new server after I asked the same question of them! Will see if I can restore the site and then close this thread down…

Thanks, lexhair! That seems to have solved it!

Thanks, Otto42, but that won’t help. I want posts in other categories visible when at the site, but not included in the feed. I’ll try lexhair’s solution and report back…

The problem with that is that it doesn’t suppress the other categories i.e. if a user hits the RSS sub icon on the home page, they get the lot.

I can do it by excluding individual posts, but that seems a very long and arduous way around things!

I have now solved this, using the protect content plug-in.

bumping this back up…

I’ve played with a couple more plugins since, such as wp_members and protectcontent. The trouble is that each of these restricts per post, and I want to restrict a category, ideally with a “you could be reading this if you were logged in” message.

Anyone?

That’s great, thanks! I had a feeling it was something really simple which I just wasn’t seeing due to being a newbie.
