 * I posted this same topic several weeks ago but it never got a reply.
 * I know that I still have all my categories, but they do not display on the “Edit
   Post” screen, so I cannot designate a category in a new post. For that reason,
   I quit using posts until I can get this resolved.
 * Does anybody know how these categories can become invisible? The problem began
   before I updated my theme (Coraline) and persisted after the theme update.
 * Should I reinstall WordPress 3.3.1 over the existing installation?
