   Information

   WordPress ver 2.9.2
   Theme : Whitepress 1.1.7
   Plugins : All in One SEO Pack
   Google XML Sitemaps
   TinyMCE Advanced

   Problem : Main page, sidebar Categories tab says no categories, Tags do not display, archives are empty.

   However 6 categories exist all with posts. If you look at an individual post it displays the tags used and the categories of the post. Checked the sidebar.php and everything is as per theme.

   Web address : http://www.musthaveit.com/wordpress

   It's the company blog and I have limited access to the server: ie) I have admin access with WordPress and install pugins and edit theme but no access to sql.

   Seems to be fine now. I assume you managed to resolve this, yes?

   Actually no, it's not resolved.

   Checked using IE and Firefox from PC and laptop on different networks.

   At the lower section of the main page click on Categories, Tag Cloud, Archive:

   Have you reviewed the theme documentation on http://code.google.com/p/whipress/ ?

   Hi esmi,

   Yes I have. The problem is, I have taken over the blog and therefore unable to confirm if categories, tags and archives links have ever worked.

   But I have checked the source code and it is exactly the same as in sidebar.php in the theme. I've also checked the list code for categories and this is the same as per WordPress docs. The command is still valid to list the categories as far as I know.

   I've resinstalled wordpress.

   <div id="first_container">
   
   			<ul id="first_container_nav">
   				<li><a href="#categories" title="Categories">Categories</a></li>
   				<li><a href="#tagcoud" title="Tag Cloud" class="selected">Tag Cloud</a></li>
   				<li><a href="#archives" title="Archives">Archives</a></li>
   			</ul>
   
   			<div id="categories">
   				<ul>
   					<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hierarchical=1'); ?>
   				</ul>
   
   			</div>
   
   			<div id="tagcoud">
   				<p><?php wp_tag_cloud(); ?></p>
   			</div>
   
   			<div id="archives">
   				<ul>
   					<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
   				</ul>
   			</div>
   
   		</div>

   Everything looks valid, but not working.

   I've also tried re-saving permalinks.

   Placin the following

   <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hierarchical=1'); ?>

   in various positions in the sidebar.php still says no categories also.

   Anyone have any ideas?

   I am also facing same problem. It was showing until sometime back - but now category not visible in sidebar.

   I have upgraded to WP 3.0 - but problem still persists. Is it to do with any database or plugin issue?
