Not a wordpress issue, please see excert from a chat below:

Assumed it was encoding issue (had just updated wordpress and database,e tc.)
Also because JSON in ajax had full content – php://input was truncated
tldr …. it wasn’t wordpress
installed dumpio and got raw apache posts
turns out php sapi was truncating the post

Although I thought I was on a higher version than that
In fact, I am – but it still exists
Somehow, big permissions bug when updating my debian version
apt-get remove –purge all of apache and php, then it started working

Hi,

Thanks – but had already checked that thread.

Looking at $_POST and php://input the data is truncated at that point too – but using firebug I can see the request is in the payload all okay.

Cheers.

Ditto – that would be brilliant.

You’d have a ready to run backup, or even better, dev on local machine and push it out to S3 which does hosted sites now

Same problem here – can’t create new categories!!!

(going to try and put them in the database myself, but can’t help feel this isn’t the correct solution!)

I also have this error when trying to select a category, or any other category/[category_name] page

I have checked the list, and all of my (active) plugins are compatible,

example:

No idea what is causing it / what to do

Thanks, James.
