Categories deleted?! (8 posts)

    I was just writing a blog post when I realized that all of my posts no longer are categorized or tagged. So I checked to see if my categories were still there... they were. But then I refreshed and they were all gone.

    Why did this happen?! I didn't delete anything!

    You may need to repair the database.

    Access your WordPress database via phpMyAdmin (most hosting providers offer this in their control panel), check all of the tables, and choose "Repair tables" from the pull-down menu.

    it happened to my blog also.
    all categories are deleted automatically.
    repair does not help. using 3.0.1

    Have you tried:

    - deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    - switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

    thanks for reply.
    I have tried this but nothing happens.

    I had installed postie plugin, on that day, created categories and tested postie with multiple cateogries. it was working fine.
    after a week, I checked again, and found
    :posts after that day are not shown,even they are in db, these posts were created by postie..
    :categories I created on that day not shown, could not verify db as I do not know which table to check for categories,
    :postie plugin removed automatically. no longer seen in admin.
    maybe I could check if its files are still there..

    Same problem happened to me. Any ideas on the cause of this would be awesome. I tried repairing the database and disabling all plugins. I did not update any plugin or change any code or add any plugin on the day that this happened.

    Alecuf, mine suddenly started working again maybe a day later. I don't know whether it was a delayed result of the database repair or not.
