My issue has been resolved with an adjustment to the php configuration on the host’s servers. Don’t know what, exactly.
My categories are gone from the category manager, since the upgrade to 2.3.2, and the tags aren’t working either. The tables are still there and in the editor, I can still see the categories. I can still add tags in the editor, but the links just go to a 404 page.
I have repaired and optimized and fiddled with the permalink structure. Nothing seems to fix this. Is there a patch?
Nothing I tried worked. It was 403, 403, 403. I tried everything above and then some.
What worked was adding a word to the directory string. The pretty permalink string was:
/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
I put this as a custom string:
/archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
Worked right away. Go figure.
