Cannot add or change Category image anymore

As the title says, I used to be able to add and change category images. Now that I want to change one, I cannot find the option anymore.
It should be in Forum/Categories and edit on a specific category. There used to be a upload bar, but it is gone now.
I'm using Vanilla 2.1.11

Welcome to the community.
I just tried it and it works in 2.1.13.
If you go to edit a category, do you have the option to set custom permissions?
Yes, I still have that option
It may not fix things, but for security reasons, you should really upgrade your forum to the latest version.
From this screenshot, which bits haven't you got?
Css Class, Photo, Display As, Hide from the recent discussions page.
Have you enabled any plugins recently?
Can you try running
http://www.yourforum.com/dashboard/utility/structure/all
I've ran it, but it didn't fix the issue.
Yes, I have plenty of plugins enabled. Too many to disable them 1 by 1 to see which one causes the issue.
Up to you.
If it were me, I would take the following steps:
Change the theme to +Baseline, and see if that resolves the issue. If so, it is a theme issue.
Otherwise, I would disable all the plugins and see if that resolves the issue.
If it does, then just turn them back on 1 by 1.
If you don't want to do that, I don't know how you can resolve the issue.
Separately, you really should upgrade to the latest security release.
I'll try that then. I guess there is no way around disabling plugins 1 by 1.
Could you just explain me how I could upgrade to the latest version, and will it cause any data loss?
There should be no data loss.
The vast majority of the important data for your forum will be in the mySQL db, so make sure you have a back up of that, just in case. Make a copy of your config.php file, and .htaccess if applicable.
You might also want to make sure you have a back-up of the contents of your uploads folder.
Just follow the instructions here to upgrade:
http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/31046/vanilla-2-1-13-security-updates
And I found a workaround to my problem. I haven't attempted it yet, but I could simply disable all plugins, add the Photos I need, then re-enable all plugins I need.
I'll try to upgrade, thanks.
I couldn't imagine that a plugin should really be the reason for this. Could you paste the section of your /conf/config.php where the plugins are shown? If there is one that has anything to do with categories it would be a suspect, but most of the plugins simply couldn't be the reason.
A more general hint: if you are not seeing something that you expect to be somewhere, try inspecting the html code of your page. It might be there but only turned invisible by some amok css
Sure. Where can I find the config? On my site or on my host?

As far as I can see, none of this plugins should alter the categories edit page. So I bet if you comment out all of them, you shouldn't be able to see the full categories page! If you try to do so, don't comment out
$Configuration['EnabledPlugins']['HtmLawed'] = 'HtmLawed';Have you taken a look at the html source and made sure those lines aren't "only" hidden?
Have you updated? That's really no big deal. Simply make a copy of all files and of the db and you are a 100% sure. I never faced any problem when updating Vanilla.
The upload button does not appear when you edit discussions or comments. It only appears when you first make a new discussion or comment.

It doesn't appear either way. I tried both.
There is no "Customize Theme" either to check my HTML. I tried it with different themes as well.
EDIT:
But commenting out all the plugins did resolve the issue
