My subcategories still don't show.... I think this is just a shortcoming of the system. Or is there a particular skin that shows subcategories/

Apologies for taking so long to close this, but I was a little afraid of risking my categories and having them disappear back then. =S

I'm happy to report that things work now, and I hope the people who have yet to see their issues resolved will have the problems sorted out soon. =)

Problem: I tried to add my "Games" category under the "Computers" category and it was wiped out from every single place except posts' category listings in "Manage Categories" and the blog itself. Exactly the same problem everybody else has here.

Problem: Initially, all my sub-categories no longer have any parent categories, meaning they become 'main' categories. Then, when I tried to edit them to be under their original parent categories, they disappear totally, although my posts are still under those sub-cats. However, some managed to 'survived' and be classed under their parent category (one only, actually).

I tried to add a category of the same name and place it under the respective parent category, but the same thing happen to the new one.

Problem: When I create a new category, it appears on the list. No problem there. I refreshed the page once, it's gone. Refresh again and it shows up. I go to Manage > Categories > Add Category. I add a new Category and select the parent (one which I just added.) It shows up on the list. Refresh the page and it's gone.

I checked under the Category parent and it's there. But it won't show up as an option when I create a new post.

Same problem, my sub categories just disappear. However they are still listed in the "Category parent" drop downbox in the Add Category thingy.

In Write Post the added sub categories also do not show up, only first level categories.

Annoying bug! Hope this will be fixed soon...

I am having the same problem: I create new subcategories in the manager and save them, but they don't show up. And now, some categories created on the fly aren't showing up, either. It's really frustrating! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am using Firefox 2.0.0.7 on MacOSX10.4.10 and my blog is at http://livingininterestingtimes.wordpress.com.

I'm having the same issue as well: a subcategory I created has apparently vanished in the list of categories, although it still shows up on the post itself. I'm not interested in having it be a tag, if that's what is happening; I want a subcategory. :)

it should be in hierarchy format if you selected that option in the Categories widget.

To open the widget:
Dashboard->Presentation->Widgets->Click on the little box on the Categories widget

Im having the same issue or the category is listed on my pull down, but not under the parent category. Should it be in a hierarchy format?

Same problem here with subcategories disappearing, and only reappearing when deleting their parent category. Immediately happens again when I create the parent and subcategories anew. However, some other parents and subcategories still work fine.

When deleting one of the "broken" categories and then opening the "Edit Category" URL with it's Category ID, the name and description are still there, so part of the problem might be that deleted categories are not actually deleted.

Just wanted to chime in -- I have the same problem. With one slight difference - one set of categories I filed under a parent is fine. But the rest have disappeared from the manager. All the categories, however, appear to be treated as tags when you click them next to the post title. Wondering a little about that too.

But mostly wanting my filing ability of those disappeared categories back.

cactusbeetroot on "Subcategories not showing"

cactusbeetroot — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 03:34:25 +0000

As a further update, I have been unable to create new subcategories under parent categories as well. They are created just fine in the Manage section, but I am unable to add them onto posts, and when I return to the Manage page, they appear to have vanished!

Once again, thanks for any help.

Hello,

I was trying to organise my categories today (because I figured it's time I've started tagging instead), but when I tried putting some categories under parents, they disappear from the Manage Categories list. In fact, I don't see them in the checkbox list when I try to post a new entry either. However, the categories are still listed on my blog itself, which is somewhat confusing.

My blog: http://cactusbeetroot.wordpress.com/

(Update: I've just noticed that they might have become tags?)

Help greatly appreciated. =)
