   I'm probably overlooking something simple, but I cannot get wp_list_categories to output the categories of my posts in my footer (whether or not I pass any arguments). All I ever get is "No Categories" displayed. When I call it in my header, it works fine. I threw in a "rewind_posts()" call in my footer, but it didn't seem to do anything.

   This is using a custom theme that I built from scratch. Any ideas?

   Ok - it looks like something is goofy somewhere in my theme. wp_list_bookmarks is not working either. Is there some basic tag or function call I may be overlooking that would cause my footer to act like this? This function also works in my header.php file, but not footer.php.

   Sorry - I should've put this all in the first post. I turned on debugging and am seeing WP database errors in both places where I'm calling the above functions:

   WordPress database error: [Table 'wp_terms' doesn't exist]...
   (then it shows the SQL statement)

   My bad - error in my php code within the sidebar. Removing the sidebar got both the functions to work.

   Hey, when you say error in the php code of the sidebar, what do yo mean?

   I'm trying the basic:
   wp_list_categories

   in a page, and it doesn't work.
   I've got the same call in my sidebar.php and it works there fine.

   I've installed a plugin to allow php execution in articles, and the archive list is working just fine in a page...

   Cheers, Gavin
