phpMyFAQ

Yes, I have not been able to create a category yet.

Yes, I do. It's the only user yet, and I created it when installing. I checked if all the rights were set, and they are.

I am having this exact same issue. Just installed version 2.8.8 (this is my first time using phpMyFAQ), and it seems that I'm not authorized to create a top-level category.

Any suggestions?
