Cannot add categories

  • Unknown's avatar

    (sorry bad english)

    i used to add “existence” to my categories instead of searching them (too many categories to search)
    but now its doesnt work anymore , i add existence categories , enter , and it just gone , adding “new” categories is normal

    Hi,

    “Existent” post categories would be all post categories, so it’s not clear what you mean. Where are you doing the search? If you enter “existent” in the categories search box of a post editor, the result will be either the category “existent,” if it exists, or “No results. Please try a different search.”

    Cannot add categories

    The Categories support page might be helpful.

    omg my english is so fucking bad

    example :
    i have “zealot” as my categories , but instead of searching it and add it to my post , i type it at my categories so i can save my time for scrolling down

    its should work until now , i used to do this like 3years , its just doesnt work anymore , i cant figure it out i tried to close all plugin but its same

    Are you referring to a WordPress.com site? If so, what is the address (URL) of the site? And where are you doing the category search that you’ve described? In the post editor of any WordPress.com site, a search for a specific existent category at Categories & Tags should present you with that category as the result of the search.

    See also the Managing Categories in WP Admin section of the Categories support page. Here you may add, edit, and delete categories.

    Here you may add, edit, and delete categories.

    Correction:
    You may add, edit, and delete categories at your WP Admin Categories page. If you have a WordPress.com site, then its WP Admin Categories page would be at the URL https://your website address/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category. Replace “yourwebsite address” with the site address/URL.

    i guess u dont understand what i mean , i just tell you my step since my english so horrible , i know the categoris page i know i search box but that doesnt relate to my problem , my issue is “cannot add existance categories to post”

    i used to be
    create post > add categories (typing inside the box) > enter > categories added > success

    now
    create post > add categories (typing inside the box) > enter > nothing happen > the word i typed is gone (couldnt add existance categories anymore)

    not tying to make you confuse since you really couldnt understand what i mean , “add existance categories“ not working anymore “add new categories” is fine

    now
    create post > add categories (typing inside the box) > enter > nothing happen > the word i typed is gone (couldnt add existance categories anymore)

    Thanks. I thought that’s what you meant when I said

    In the post editor of any WordPress.com site, a search for a specific existent category at Categories & Tags should present you with that category as the result of the search.

    Typing in an existent category, at post editor > Post Settings > Categories & Tags > Categories, is a type of search.

    I don’t know why this procedure would not be working properly on your site anymore. Perhaps, the failure is due to a browser-related or other local issue. I’ve called for staff attention to the topic. Please wait for a staff member to respond.

  • @miroticgenie7 what’s your preferred language? We might have a better forum for you.

    Also, it looks like your site is actually an individual WordPress.org installation. Are you using wp-admin to post?

    i prefer chinese
    im using wp-admin , not sure what it mean but im using hostgator and then get wordpress as my website

  • @miroticgenie7 got it. We don’t have a forum in Chinese at this point. But these forums are for WordPress.com services. This may help a bit:

    You can find help for your installation at https://wordpress.org/support . Before posting there, you might try to figure out whether this started with an update to WordPress or a plugin. I hope that helps!

    i dont understand what your mean , are u meaning i should go somewhere else that u couldnt help ?

  • @miroticgenie7 you would be welcome to move your site to our servers so we could provide more help:
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/coming-from-self-hosted/

    Or if you’d like to keep hosting with hostgator, you will want to use the forums at https://wordpress.org/support
