Wordpress help needed

    This will probably sound like a really dumb question but I can't seem to make any categories using Wordpress. I type in the category name, slug, description and when I click on add category they all disappear and no categories are added. Am I missing something?

    Are you sure they are not there? ... on one of my blogs they don't show up as I add them ... click manage > categories to check

    Can you add posts? (there may be a database problem)

    Can't do that either.. Whenever I try to post my mouse wont click inside the post box. As far as I know everything is okay with the database because it installed well.. I don't know what else it could be.

    Nora, the category will not show unless you add post to it. Let say you have the following categories.
    Category 1
    Category 2

    and you add a post " xxx" under category 1. Category 2 will not show yet unless you add another post. Get the hint?

    No it wasn't showing on the Manage Categories page.
    Probably some Ajax problem with IE or so. It seems to work fine in Firefox. :)
    Thanks for all the help.

    Thats a bit bizarre. If you prefer to use IE7 then it might be best to just go through each security item until you find which one is preventing you from running it.

    I'm okay with both. :)
    I'll use FF until I figure out what's wrong with IE.
