Hierarchical categories are now flat
-
The hierarchy is gone, it’s not in the theme, it’s in the category list itself.

Is there any estimated time this will be fixed. I have over 700 tags, and they’re hierarchal for a very good reason. Oy vey! I hope they’ll be restored (not the end of the world, but a time-consuming task).
Get crackin’ guys :-)

In all my 4 blogs categories and parent categories are all messed up. In my attempt to contact support, the only support i receive is the message “Support is temporarily closed” suggesting to try FAQ page. It’s a shame that when support is needed it’s not there to provide same.
-
I am here – I have tested things, it’s being fixed.
The Support form being closed does not equal nothing happening.

Mark,
I understand your point but avoiding maybe hundreds of wp members contacting you at same time for specific support requests, certainly does not add to wp’s credit. It’s better to let support open rather than closing it down. Or at least upload a different yet informative message that something is going on.
On the issue of categories and parent categories still three out of my four blocks behave as already described in my previous message. They are behaving like this since early in the morning [now is early evening] local Greek time which is GMT + 2 hours [or + 3 for energy saving daylight time].

I sympathize with your categories issues. Many of us have issues with category structure and behaviour at this point in time. None of us are in the know when it comes to what is going on with categories. But to set the record straight, support is actually always available whether or not the “support” link is available. Staff are monitoring these forum threads day and night and, when urgent issues arise they deal with them immediately.

This issue and other categories issues are appearing in another forum thread as well https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=17239

having the same problem at http://hotvnews.wordpress.com. I already sent a feedback form.

oh, and btw, when i resume the categories to their hierarchy, the categories disappear…
(sorry, but, and i don’t know why, the forum doesn’t allow me to edit my previous post…)

I still have missing categories – the ones that I tried to fix before I noticed it was a WP system problem got deleted instead of assigning the parent (as another indicated above).
-
Seems like my missing categories are now found and the structure is re-established. Thanks

After reading the above messages quoting “that after manually reassigning” well, I’m afraid to say that NO, the problem EXISTS, and in fact its getting worst. Trying to reassign, nothing happens except that all categories are lost and none of them is reassigned.
And on a different subject but still a technical problem, today the main wp page is getting hours and hours to load. Cannot sign in as the page is loading and never stops loading, and have used the “back door” which means i browse one of my blogs and then log-in. Yet, however, when trying to go to wordpress.com page from my dashboard, again the page is getting loading but actually never loads.
Have cleared temporary internet files, cleared cache, re-start computer, etc, etc, but still the problem exists. Any remedies?

I just noticed the same thing as well, but after manually fixing them, the categories seem to be okay on my blog.
@grhomeboy – I had a quick look at your blog and most of your categories seem to be in good order. I can see them and they seem to be in hierarchy; the Leisure Section > Aquatics > Athens 2004 Olympics > etc, for instance. Do you know which ones are still out of order?
Your login problems are happening to a lot of people today. What you’ve done so far is what we’d suggest so I’m not sure what else you can do, except try a different browser. Have you tried that? I’m hoping staff are working on the problem but if it keeps happening, it might be worth sending an email to support.
