I have an odd situation, and I do not know what’s causing it. I’ve a site where I can’t seem to create a category. When I purchased the site, they had no categories in there. Each and every time I a create a category in the normal category section of wp-admin, it shows up for a minute, but then disappears. anything that you guys know of which will cause a categories to disappear? I’ve switched themes around to see if it was related to that, and it takes place on all themes. I’ve looked at plugins, but cannot seem to find something unusual there.
