 * **Problem**
    I am currently using the berylliumous theme that has an imaging 
   sliding function that’s connect to themes. I noticed one day after posting and
   reviewing my post, that the feature sliding function disappeared. So I went to
   check my admin panel, and instead of having the categories show up under “All
   Categories” (under new post/edit post), they only show up under “Most Used”.
 * When I attempt to edit this, the change doesn’t stay? As in, even after I check
   the categories I want it to show up in, it doesn’t. I can’t even change them 
   in “quick edit”.
 * Under my “Categories” section under “posts” in my admin panel, all my original
   categories are gone. The funny thing is, I can’t even recreate the “missing categories”
   because WP still says they exist.
 * ex: A term with the name provided already exists with this parent.
 * **Information**
    1. WP Version: 3.0.3 2. Theme: Berylliumous 3. Hosting: Fatcow
   4. Windows 7 5. Browser: Opera 6. Domain*: [http://blog.kan-d.net/](http://blog.kan-d.net/)*
   doesn’t work?: try [http://clearcontactscom.fatcow.com/blog/](http://clearcontactscom.fatcow.com/blog/)
 * **Personal Thoughts**
    I have a gut feeling it’s because I updated wordpress…
   but I’m not sure how to return to an old version without having to re-install&
   re-post everything again.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated!
