# [Plugin: Flutter] Categories Panel Missing

 * I installed Flutter on my local server and got it working ok, I’m now trying 
   to do the same on my web host. Something weird just happened though.
 * I created a Write Panel and a few fields for it, so far so good. Noticed I forgot
   to enable categories as a Standard Panel. Went back and checked it, but it did
   not take effect, and come to find out the categories panel is missing from the
   regular post writing page as well now!
    I can assign categories from Quick Edit
   in post manage lists, and everything is fine with categories otherwise. Flutter
   is even assigning the default category correctly, but I need to sub-categorize
   these posts. It’s not a deal breaker but, basically going to be a pain unless
   I can fix this.
 * I tried deleting the Write Panel, deactivating the plug-in, uninstalling, reinstalling,
   making a new Write Panel…nothing brought back the Categories Panel.
 * Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

 * Hey, Thanks J! The last fix they posted isn’t working, but I’ll scoot this issue
   to that board and see what happens 🙂

 * It gets worse. When you disable Flutter the problem doesn’t go away- your primary
   edit page is still broken. That plug-in is pretty awesome but if it goes wrong
   get ready to do a re-install. ='(

 * God. And a deep re-install at that. You have to literally wipe your entire installation
   down- none of this “replace-files-that-aren’t-the-right-size” business.
 * DO NOT INSTALL FLUTTER if you care about your category panel at all.
