The new upgrade that was released 3 days ago, 2.1.1 solved the problem for me ??

It’s still not working for me, Ben, but I did try deleting the blogroll links and adding another. Weird, one of my post categories is showing up as a blogroll category. The whole thing is wonky.

Same thing here, there are several threads on it that are open but no one has offered a solution.

If I view through the Opera browser, I get a blank white page. If I view through Firefox or IE, I get a popup asking me what I want to do with categories.php (save to disk or choose a program to open it with)

Either way, I can’t manage categories. This is with both a fresh install and an upgrade.

I’m experiencing the same thing, both with an upgrade and a fresh installation. Removing the www didn’t help. Someone else suggested adding a category via the ‘write post’ page and then she was able to access category.php, but that didn’t work for me either.

I would love to have this resolved. I reverted my upgrade to an old version for now.

I have a dedicated server. My server specs:

PHP 4.3.11
MySql 4.0.27 standard
Linux x86_64
4gb ram
Apache 1.3.34
cpanel

Thanks for the reply! I went to my test installation (new install) of 2.1 and tried that, but unfortunately it still didn’t work. I can add categories there, but I can’t manage them and add descriptions which are important to my site, etc. ??

Nope, nothing working here either. My original categories are showing up, but I still can’t access the category admin page to manage them.

I ended up restoring my backup and reverting to 2.07.

No luck with reloading all fresh files.

I just tried what onlinetracker tried. I created a brand new database and loaded a fresh copy as a test installation, and still had the same problem.

Ok, I found the solution. In wp-includes/default-filters.php find and comment out:
add_filter(‘pre_category_description’, ‘wp_filter_kses’);

Did you find a solution to this? I want to include images in my category descriptions but it strips my html, too. Any advice would be appreciated ??

That was it! It’s always under my nose. Thanks!

Btw, here is the example https://www.restaurantpoints.com/ Notice that all of the page links in the menu work except for Quiznos, which is linked towards the bottom. The Quiznos page is in my database, but if you click it, it gives a 404.

thanks ??

That worked perfect, thanks! I added <?php echo category_description(); ?> and it pulls the description for the current category.

Thank you ??

I tried adding the category code such as (11), but that didn’t do anything either. I also hoped that leaving it blank would cause it to default to the current category. Either way, nothing happened. Has anyone else seen this work?

Thanks for the reply. That shows the title, but I’m trying to add the additional description field.

The page in codex for category descriptions at https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/category_description shows what I attempted, but for some reason it’s not displaying anything.

I am truly confused about this plugin, though I LOVE what it is supposed to do. When I visit the link above, it is a page to copy for one file, but the instructions above also reference a links-update-cache.xml file which is not included. Will this work for WP 1.5.2?
