Category Panel disappears in Add/Edit Post
-
The Categories/Meta data panel is not able to be toggled in the Edit/Create New Post window in the 6.0+ version of WordPress on my website. There is nothing is settings to change this, outside of reverting to the Classic Editor plugin.
I have tried all troubleshooting suggestions from older posts that I have been able to find related to this outside of touching the code. I have done multiple clean installs, checked the settings (the missing panels are not there to be selected), I have downgraded (it worked but it kills the plugin I needed), I have reinstalled/cleared caches including my browser(s), deleted/disabled every plugin, tried other browsers, no ad-block, only using the standard theme. Due to the fact that the categories/etc can be shown with Classic Editor and it will come back in the pre-6.0 versions of WordPress, I have to assume this is the 6.0+ version that is causing the problem somehow.
I am able to use the Classic Editor plugin to fix this for some of my websites, but this particular site has a plugin that requires the Blocks/Gutenberg editor, so that is not a workaround. I would prefer not to have to bulk edit categories onto every post when a post is created from the Posts menu.
A screen shot of the settings menu within the post and in the post screen: https://woodlandfeatures.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Screenshot-2023-04-05-at-3.35.34-PM.png and https://woodlandfeatures.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Screenshot-2023-04-05-at-3.37.04-PM.pngAny help or suggestions are appreciated!

Hi there,
Apologies, but we can’t help with your issue directly because we don’t host woodlandfeatures.com on our WordPress.com managed hosting.
To explain, we are a fully managed hosting provider and use a custom server environment that is optimized for WordPress, provides built-in security and performance improvements, as well as in-house support for your site questions.
Because of the way we’ve optimized our service, we also use a customized version of WordPress that is different (under the hood) from what you use at your current provider. As a result, we do not have access to your site and are not familiar with the source of your issue.
You definitely have the option to move your site to us so we can provide in-house help, but as it stands now, we cannot help since it is hosted elsewhere. The good news is that help is available here at the open-source WordPress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting
The folks in that forum are more familiar with these kinds of issues and are in the best position to help. Thanks!
