Thank you all for your responses. Apologies for the slow return, but the checking has taken time.
I tried to deactivate all plugins using the “select all” and “deactivate” but came up with a requirement to change the permissions setting of wp-content to 777. This I have done. I did try uninstalling one plugin at a time, first, but no category change.

@ Esmi
I have deactivated plugins, switched to Twenty Eleven theme ( and back to Socrates), reloaded the wp-admin and wp-includes folder from a fresh download of wp3.3.1. No change

Unsure as to how I should reset the plugins folder – ???

@ manntdp
I have created the required category using the Category link in the Dashboard column at the outset, and I still do not have any means of changing the post category.

@imtop10
There are 10 tags attached to the post

I am fresh out of ideas.
The post itself ‘https://moneyproblemssolutions.org/wazzup-doc’ has listing of Categories, but not the new one I want to use.

Appreciate your interest and help.

ISP helped.
1. Checked with ISP – the site is hosted on epanel and needed the ISP to put a /tmp folder in place.
2. ISP removed the index.php welcome page set up with initial site.
Bingo.

Oh, and the ISP removed the original welcome index.php…….

Guess I had to work this out for myself.

2. Amazon was my fault – silly me using a trademark of Amazon’s. Sigh.

DIY works –
I have made some changes to the .htaccess file:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Originally there was only the first section – adding the upload part sorted out the lack of editing – now if I can only solve the astore link issue…

Anyone out there???

I have something a bit similar – new site with fresh WP3.3.1 -links from my amazon astore go to a 404 error page.
I also find the edit for hyperlink, add category, and add tags do not work on the main edit page.
Have had an enquiry out for 3 days, so far no response that I have seen

Same problem. Using WP3.2.1. Tried adding /tmp and wwwtmp to site root, /tmp to /home/site-www dir, tried /tmp in wp-content dir, can see wp-content/uploads/2011/09
All path attr set to 777
Other sites on other servers are not having this problem – is this an apache setting needing a tweek? – or is the correct term /temp not /tmp – shall give that a whirl. this site running on epanel

Further – have deleted admin and includes folders and reloaded.
contents folder and upload folder attributes set at 777

Have I got a dud version of WP?

Tried turning off all plugins, log out, log back in – no good.

So the problem is that there is no blog/website url path in Settings > General, nor “uploading files” section in Settings > Media

Any ideas????

Well, the fix was kinder-easy. Just had to get the right mindset.
Removed the public_html reference. Removed all references in the blog, made sure the lot was clean, re-wrote the link.
Hands on seat, sit down, done.

@andrea_r Sorry, but I am puzzled does “shared host” mean add-on domains? or does it mean subdomains such as those within the WP structure?

In other words:
Is there a problem turning on wildcard for an add-on domain such as the structure I presently have? (wildcard turned on for main domain and add-on domain – which add-on is the domain we have been working on.)

My ISP says there is a looping going on, and I find the sweetblogspot takes maybe 10-12 seconds to load.

If this is the case I will have to settle sweetblogspot as the core domain – the other one can survive on panel generated subdomains.
Await your comment.

Check the entry “reconstruction of WP network site – how to?” for all the answers (maybe)

@andrea_r and @ipstenu – many thanks.
Quelle est “SP”
Lesson learned – make sure the wildcards are turned on for add-ons as well…

Ho Ho Ho… I turned off ALL plugins, and logged out/in, reactivated plugins. Being a manic depressive when I can’t get anything to work – well it just seems that way – I fiddled around to see if I could manually enter the subdomain site to get a page – blimey, it works.
OK, went to site admin/sites/ and clicked view link – wow – https://fitnessandhealthreviews.sweetblogspot.com/ is looking at me (needs a lot of work ??
Same result for dashboard – folks I think we are alive!!
Just one last thing to do – create a new site… holding breath … aahh, I’m a happy little sandboy!

I will create a blog for this excercise

My thanks for your considerable assistance. Wishlist?
Regards
Ken

@andrea_r – ISP has enabled wildcards
Now I cannot go to the page on entering the url
ie: https://sportsbettingreviews.sweetblogspot.com/
but can go to a page using the tabs on the main page.
ie https://sweetblogspot.com/category/sport/

@ipstenu – ISP advises:”I believe things are set correctly for this. If not, let me know.
www. and wildcards are doing to the same location. From there,
Wordpress should do the needed redirection.”

Re the task outlined above (reply to Andrea_r) I will go back to the ISP and ask for a check on the redirection issue. I think it is working correctly as when I put the url as https://www.sweetblogspot.com the page appears with the address changed to https://sweetblogspot.com
