 This issue happens in WordPress 4.8 due to a small JavaScript error. The
 new category is created successfully, but it only appears after the page
 refresh.

 The error is not serious. It’s just a display problem in the admin area.

 To fix it, update WordPress to the latest version. Clear your browser
 cache and hard refresh the page. If it still happens, disable all plugins
 and use the default theme to check for conflicts.

 If you don’t want to refresh, open “Quick Edit” after saving the post to
 reload the category list.
