OK, I finally isolated the problem to a JavaScript browser problem that exists in both of my configurations for IE7 and FireFox 2.0.0.8 operating under Windows Home Premium Vista. Other posted solutions involving the htaccess file, and various plugins did not resolve the issue

I can create categories to my hearts content by deactivating JS. In FireFox, I went Tools > Options > Content and unchecked “Enable JavaScript.”

Hope this helps.

I have spent hours trying to resolve this. Upgrade to 2.3.1 was no help. My only option is to go directly into SQL — which is very time consuming. I suspect a browser problem, but whether its FireFox 2.0 or IE 7 same problem. Haven’t tried Opera. (And doubt that I will.) Hope this gets fixed soon.

So close, our server has MySQL 4.0.26

Has this been “fixed” in 2.04? The file template-functions-post.php no longer has the statement:

$title = apply_filters(‘the_title’, $title);

Now, it has the statement as part of a function as follows:

function the_title($before = ”, $after = ”, $echo = true) {
$title = get_the_title();
if ( strlen($title) > 0 ) {
$title = apply_filters(‘the_title’, $before . $title . $after, $before, $after);
if ( $echo )
echo $title;
else
return $title;
}
}

I went ahead and made the change to the wp-rss2.php file since I was still noticing problems with the apostrophe, double dash, and quotation marks. I’ll see if the single change clears it up. If not, I’ll experiment with commenting out the apply filters statement.

Any ideas?

I had no difficulty installing and activating the plug-in. But when I erased it. The comments remained shut off. New posts would show comments open, but the not the old ones. Is there an “anti-autoshutoff.php” ?

When I placed the

$this->query(‘SET NAMES UTF8’);

line in wp-db.php, as above, all I got back was a database error, “no system variable NAMES”

Isn’t it dangerous from a security standpoint to CHMOD your entire uploads directory and subdirectories to 777?
