AmiG have you tried reinstalling the plugin entirely? I’m not sure if it will work but might be worth a shot if you haven’t yet.

Oh man, thanks a lot. Now I remember turning that on in the first test site, the one with the problem. Good job tracking that down, thanks so much! Crossing fingers for a bug fix (although the feature doesn’t seem to be too important).

@amig Correct, the version of the site that is currently hosted by hostgator does not have the problem. I used a plugin called “wordpress duplicator” to move the site on to a local installation of XAMPP on a windows 7 machine and categories on that site no longer work. One other plugin, better WP-security broke in a fairly major way but that’s another story, I doubt it affected the FWP plugin.

Now I also created a second local wordpress install to demo a new theme for the site, and installed everything fresh, including FWP. Categories and tags work fine on this site at the moment. I’m not very well versed in php/mysql, only enough to use other people’s code and tinker a bit, and I’m also new to wordpress as a backend, but I’ll try looking a little closer to see if I can find any discrepancies.

I’ve been trying to figure out why categories don’t work on my testing server for the longest time. Disabling this plugin lets them work, but since the site is mainly an RSS feed blog I’m not sure what to do. Strangely enough the actual live version of the site does not have this problem. Anyone have any clues or ideas?
