All of a sudden, I can't add the posts to any category: they used to be listed on the right column of the post editing area, now they're not. And the look of the styles is all wrong: no title on the posts and the text is in a completely different style.

Thanks for the update on the upgrade. As it's the weekend, I expected we would be beta testing some new gismo or another. ;)

It should now work just as we meant it to: your Categories widget is renamed Categories 1 and you can have several of them by changing the option at the very bottom of the page (same as Text and RSS widgets).

Categories are SOBER!

Whew, could never manage having 'categories' without drop-down, no way george!

So...we might be getting a second category widget? I've wanted one of those! And a girly theme, too?

Wow, it's Freaky Friday!

Thanks again Mark, you rock.

@solework - your problems are not fixable fast because we don't know where your blog is. No link = slow help.... because we need you to come back and tell us.

You made my day. It's rare that a volunteer actually receives such a compliment so I intend to glory in it.

You're most welcome.

If any other bloggers are experiencing the same difficulty please do not bother to post to this thread. Mark says "it's being fixed" so please be patient.

Thank goodness others are having the same issue. "Categories" went back down to the "Widgets" that I'm not using, all by it's little self. So, I brought it back up to where it was, and it stayed there, however it will not hold my settings (I use the drop down and the hierarchy). Nor will it hold the title.

Yep - Category widget is currently drunk.

Yes, it is there. But after it has disappeared the 1st time, it isn't allowing me to save the changes when I try to tell it to show the tag numbers and to show hierarchy tree.

It seems to me that developing team really is working, because i see a different thing in the widgets settings that i don't think was there before: you can add more than 1 Category widget.

Maybe that's what's messing with it, not letting me saving my changes on widgets :(

thanks again!

Categories disappeared, so I went into Presentation > Widgets to re-add the widget to the sidebar. Then it wouldn't accept any changes (i.e., show hierarchy or show post count). I assumed it was a system glitch because the last time this happened it was a system-wide error.

I just looked at the blog linked to your username and I see Categorias in your sidebar. If you are referring to a different blog please post the url for it.

Also if this is the case then (1) what is your operating system and (2) which browser and version of it are you using?

And yes they appear in the sidebar, but i cannot configurate the "looks" of it, none of the changes are memorized.
And it seems weird to me that now the widgets name is Categories 1

Thanks for the speedy answer timethief :)

I just hope it all comes back soon :(

If you go through the process above of dragging and dropping your Categories widget into the sidebar box and clicking "save changes" what happens? Do your categories display in your sidebar or not?

Please do not panic. Everything is backed-up and if the staff are working on the Categories widget this could be the cause. Can you can see your Categories here? -> Manage -> Categories

(2) What is your operating system and which browser and version of it are you using?
(3) When you go here -> Manage -> Categories do you see your categories listed there?
(4) When you go here -> Presentation -> Widgets do you see your Categories widget in the Sidebar box or do you see it in your Available Widgets box. If it's the latter you must drag and drop it into the Sidebar box and click "save changes" in order for the categories to be displayed in your sidebar.

I have not changed anything as far as moving them to a "drop-down".

Anyone have any answers???
