 * AmiG have you tried reinstalling the plugin entirely? I’m not sure if it will
   work but might be worth a shot if you haven’t yet.

 * Oh man, thanks a lot. Now I remember turning that on in the first test site, 
   the one with the problem. Good job tracking that down, thanks so much! Crossing
   fingers for a bug fix (although the feature doesn’t seem to be too important).

 * [@amig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amig/) Correct, the version of the
   site that is currently hosted by hostgator does not have the problem. I used 
   a plugin called “wordpress duplicator” to move the site on to a local installation
   of XAMPP on a windows 7 machine and categories on that site no longer work. One
   other plugin, better WP-security broke in a fairly major way but that’s another
   story, I doubt it affected the FWP plugin.
 * Now I also created a second local wordpress install to demo a new theme for the
   site, and installed everything fresh, including FWP. Categories and tags work
   fine on this site at the moment. I’m not very well versed in php/mysql, only 
   enough to use other people’s code and tinker a bit, and I’m also new to wordpress
   as a backend, but I’ll try looking a little closer to see if I can find any discrepancies.

 * I’ve been trying to figure out why categories don’t work on my testing server
   for the longest time. Disabling this plugin lets them work, but since the site
   is mainly an RSS feed blog I’m not sure what to do. Strangely enough the actual
   live version of the site does not have this problem. Anyone have any clues or
   ideas?
