This was the result of mismatched html tags in my code. I had the END of a div but not the beginning, and this div was being acted upon by a script meant to prevent a “fouc” (flash of unstyled content). The error is gone and it had nothing to do with your plugin. * I have no idea why deactivating wp-pagenavi affected the error, and because it did, I hunted long and hard for the solution. * Again, I’m sorry I pointed my finger at your plugin. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP-PageNavi] Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of null](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-typeerror-cannot-read-property-style-of-null/) * Thread Starter [feebleTom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/feebletom/) * (@feebletom) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-typeerror-cannot-read-property-style-of-null/#post-6029414) * I’m using a child theme that I created from the twentytwelve theme, so it’s a distinct possibility that I’ve done something to create the error, but all I’ve done with the plugin is style it a little. * I also get the same error on my local development environment where I’m creating a new theme with underscores (_s) for the same site. * If I come up with a solution, I’ll post it here, but I’m not a php wiz so it could be a while:) And if I’m the only person seeing this, then it’s obviously not your plugin doing it. * Thanks for the quick response. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contact Form DB] after update to v2.8.4 get error message trying to activate](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-update-to-v284-get-error-message-trying-to-activate/) * Thread Starter [feebleTom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/feebletom/) * (@feebletom) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-update-to-v284-get-error-message-trying-to-activate/#post-5112720) * phpinfo tells me that I’m using version 5.2.17 * I updated to v 2.8.5 and all seems to be fine now.

Your code looks like it should work, but just last night I found a way to do this at [http://www.faqoverflow.com/wordpress/28782.html](http://www.faqoverflow.com/wordpress/28782.html) * ``` /* Keep custom post types UI menu off all dashboards except Administrators */ function wpse28782_remove_menu_items() { if( !current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ): remove_menu_page( 'edit.php?post_type=your_post_type' ); endif; } add_action( 'admin_menu', 'wpse28782_remove_menu_items' ); ``` * I tried this and it works. All I had to do was replace “wpse28782” and “your_post_type” with my site-specific names, and I was good to go. * BTW, if any of my code gets filtered, it’s all there at the faqoverflow link. I wish there was a “preview” option when posting here. * Thanks again for your reply. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Scheduled Content Actions] Feature Requests – Change category and pub date option](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-requests-change-category-and-pub-date-option/) * Thread Starter [feebleTom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/feebletom/) * (@feebletom) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-requests-change-category-and-pub-date-option/#post-4175401) * No problem; I’ll watch for version 2. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Categories not editable in admin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-not-editable-in-admin/) * Thread Starter [feebleTom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/feebletom/) * (@feebletom) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-not-editable-in-admin/page/2/#post-4315994) * I checked to see if I could make a different user an administrator and possibly get the Edit Category page to display the Name of the category, and guess what! It worked! * So I deleted my original admin username from the new admin user and then put the same admin back in as a new user and problems solved.

Just not from the Category screen going from the Admin Dashboard > Posts > Categories. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Categories not editable in admin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-not-editable-in-admin/) * Thread Starter [feebleTom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/feebletom/) * (@feebletom) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-not-editable-in-admin/#post-4315981) * OK, that should have fixed about anything. I even went so far as to **delete ** all plugins, not just de-activate them. But I still can’t edit categories. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Categories not editable in admin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-not-editable-in-admin/) * Thread Starter [feebleTom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/feebletom/) * (@feebletom) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-not-editable-in-admin/#post-4315969) * I was comparing my Edit Categories screen with another dev site that I have installed locally via XAMPP, and I noticed that the major difference is that the category** name**is missing from the table on the right where I should be able to edit categories. It only displays the **description**, **slug **and **posts**. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Categories not editable in admin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-not-editable-in-admin/) * Thread Starter [feebleTom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/feebletom/) * (@feebletom) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-not-editable-in-admin/#post-4315966) * I work mostly with Firefox and I have the cache disabled. Also tried IE11 and Chrome. Same result. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Categories not editable in admin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-not-editable-in-admin/) * Thread Starter [feebleTom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/feebletom/) * (@feebletom) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-not-editable-in-admin/#post-4315961) * Here is a link to the site with Twenty Ten active, because that was the default theme when I originally installed WP. Since I had no intention of ever using Twenty Thirteen, I deleted it. All plugins are de-activated. * An important point to make is that [this link](http://dd764.org/scuttlebutt2/) is to my “development” site, which only differs from the real site by the number 2 in the url. If you go to **dd764.org/scuttlebutt/** you will be getting the“ production” site on which I haven’t disabled anything. * The dev site is a replica of the production site with only minor differences, not involving plugins. The Edit Category feature does not work on either version. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Categories not editable in admin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-not-editable-in-admin/) * Thread Starter [feebleTom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/feebletom/) * (@feebletom) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-not-editable-in-admin/#post-4315957) * I did a reset on my plugins folder by renaming the folder, but it had no effect on the Edit Category screen in admin. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Categories not editable in admin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-not-editable-in-admin/) * Thread Starter [feebleTom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/feebletom/) * (@feebletom) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-not-editable-in-admin/#post-4315892) * Thanks for the suggestion. I deactivated plugins and tried it. Then I activated the default twenty-ten theme and tried it. Still no edit capabilities for categories.
