Okay so I’m having alot of the same problems, however, this is REALLY starting to unwravel my Post.php in the admin panel.

CLICKING ON THE FOLLOWING DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING:

Screen options
the “add button” under Post tags
My Categories section no longer has a drop down with my categories, nor the option to add a new category
If I try to add a tag under the Tags (Simple Tags) I get a 500 server error and then it just goes back to all the posts.
And click tags has a “This feature works only with activated JavaScript. Activate it in your Web browser so you can!” Message
Suggested tags doesn’t even allow you to drop it down

Oh and here is the Javascript error I have in IE8 running WP 2.8.4

Deactivating the plugin does not restore any function to my posts.php to add new posts or edit

On the same topic, only a little different…

How can I filter subcategory posts from a category that has subcategories?

For example, say I have a category that is hunting with the subcategories Big Game, Small Game, Waterfoul and Hunting Reports.

Using the query_posts() how could I exclude the posts in the “hunting reports” category from the query?

Similarly, if the Main Category, Hunting (that covered all the topics above), had only one subcategory that was “hunting reports” how would I exclude the posts from the single subcategory in the query?

I’ve tried everything using exclude, hierarchy, etc. but all of them ended up listing the posts in the subcat…maybe my syntax was off but I’ve just had no luck and I’m pulling my hair out. I’ve spent three days searching google for something on this topic before finally arriving here!! Everything seems to be about wp_list_categories, which is not what I’m trying to do. I want to exclude posts from a category’s subcats.

Thanks…
