Can’t create categories in WordPress?

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

While setting up auto blogs for a client, I wasn’t able to create categories in WordPress. After I provided the category name and hit ‘Add Category’ button, the portion of the wp-admin/categories.php page would show up the blog.

I’ve made available a screencast of this problem here.

The solution to this is to add the following to .htaccess:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

Plugins that don’t work when their main php file(s) is/are uploaded by itself/themselves in plugins directory. They must be placed in a directory of their own inside wp-content/plugins.
