Description

When trying to create a category in the Aricles & World Manager, neither the + sign nor pressing 'Enter' do anything except close the category creation window. Since I'm working on an article of a god in my world, I tried to create a category named 'Gods', then 'Test', then 'Category'. When trying to move the article, no category appears. Creating a new article also presents the same issue of no category being found

Steps to Reproduce

Click the '+ Category' button

Input a new category name

Press 'Enter' or click the green '+' button

Press 'Move to' button on an article

Search for the newly created category

Newly created category does not exist

Hey there! There is a limit of 15 categories for freeman accounts. This limit is shared between worlds, so if you have multiple categories on one of your worlds, deleting some of them should make it possible to create new ones again. Let me know if you face any further issues!

You were right, it seems there were a few default categories created for my other world a while ago. Deleting them did indeed make space for new ones. Resolved, thank you!
