    I just set /plugins to 755 and logged in.
    I see the plugins now, although most of them are advising there is a new version.

    I decided to click to upgrade the WordPress stats and got the error message I was originally getting:

    ————————————
    Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/stats.1.3.2.zip

    Unpacking the update

    Could not create directory: /home/myname/public_html/blog/wp-content/upgrade/stats/stats/

    Installation Failed

    ———————

    As I was feeling in a carefree mood, I next did a CHMOD on /plugins to 777 and tried again. Thinking a 777 would allow everything… but still getting the same error message that installation failed.

    The strange thing is, whenever I have performed a CHMOD on a directory, it changes everything underneath that (files and directories) to the same value.

    So if I set folders at chmod 755, everything is 755.
    So I can’t then set the files to 644.
    I just tried.

    I set the folder /plugins to 755
    I looked at the files and they were 755
    I changed one file from 755 to 644, I looked again at /plugins and that was 644

    I can never set them differently.

    I have NO idea, but is this a clue (taken from your link to tablesorter)

    “turning a standard HTML table with THEAD and TBODY tags into a sortable table”

    I see no THEAD or TBODY in your code

    This solution worked for me:
    “access the site via the non-www version (ie. example.com instead of http://www.example.com)”

    Mine had been a fresh install, I’d added about 3 categories happily enough, then it suddenly stopped working. After reading the above, I removed the www. from the start of the url and it instantly added the category.

    Thanks to that poster!

    Good luck

    This fix worked for me too.

    It appeared that suddenly I could not post. Now I remember I had gone into my profile and typed in my website url and saved it, but I didn’t connect this with my problem.

    By going into my profile and unticking the visual box this fixed the problem.

    Thank you

    Ah. Thanks.
    I didn’t change that.
    For two reasons:
    1) It said optional
    2) I had no idea what it meant

    In fact, now you’ve pointed out, I still cannot connect the two… so, now off to track down the .htaccess file, which hides a lot!

    I can’t even see it via FTP, not that I am sure where to look. I can only see it from my userpanel, so off there to fiddle.

    UPDATE: I don’t seem to have any .htaccess file, or don’t have rights to see it at all.

    I even used the search function in my console to search for it having looked through everywhere manually. Nothing.

    If anybody can give me a clue what to do/where it might be/why I can’t see it.

    Thanks

    *bump*
    Sorry to bump it…. no reply after 2 days, so thought I’d nudge it

    Anybody got any ideas on this?

    Also – look at the plug ins. There’s a great adsense module called mightyadsense. I use that.

    I have never had the wysiwyg…. I thought that was how it was meant to be. Interested to spot this thread now!
    At the moment I write in pure html and just hope it’s all right. Not that I ever write much!

    I use Maxthon, an IE based browser. I have installed v2.1.3 of WordPress
