Can’t Create Categories?-Problem Solved!
I was having problems with my Wordpress blog since I installed the WP-Cache plugin. The problems are:
1. I cannot add a new category in my posts
2. I cannot add a new category in my blogroll
3. I cannot delete post
4. I cannot delete any comment (not that I want to)
Whenever I try to create a new category I get the error:
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

So I went to Wordpress.org and search their forums for ways to fix the problem. I tried a lot of ways but they lead me to nowhere. At some point after trying a lot of “workarounds”, I tried creating a category by entering category name, etc. and then hitting submit, but NOTHING happens. No new category. No Error. Nothing. I got more and more frustrated until I followed one advice from Wordpress.org forum and that is to delete all my Wordpress core files using an FTP client and upload another fresh set of core files to my web server. (Take note : Core files are everything except what’s in your wp-content folder and your wp-config.php file). It was a long process but finally, my Wordpress blog works fine.
I had some problems with my WP too. If you will notice I keep on changing my theme. I don’t know what happened w/ my other theme that the lower half disappeared. I swear I didn’t touch anything w/ my html. I was afraid to do that because when I did w/ my very first theme I accidentally deleted something and all the entries disappeared. Nakakawindang talaga ang WP. But I’m being very careful now and learning to use it little by little.
