My post categories are empty. When editing or adding a post they are not displayed in the box. On the /wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category page none of the categories are displayed there either. If I attempt to add a category such as News which was previously there, I get the message, "A term with the name provided already exists with this parent." I have verified that indeed the categories still exist in the wp_terms table.

I have reinstalled WordPress 3.6.1 and unfortunately this did not fix the issue.

  • disable plugins, switch to default theme, does the issue persist?

  • Yes, I tried this, and the issue is still happening. This seems to be happening server wide on different WordPress installs, it is also happening on Custom Menus. I received a message that my /tmp directory was not writeable, so I am hoping that might be the underlying issue.
