    Ugh I upgraded my site to wordpress to 3.0.1 – Big mistake.

    Now I can’t add link categories, widgets, get the admin panel to work properly etc.

    I deactivated all plugins and have the same problem no matter what theme I use.

    Is there a way to fix the issues with 3.0.1 or a way to get a previous stable wordpress version ugh.

    Well, hang on there. At least give us more than three minutes. Installing old files over an updated database is joust going to cause problems down the line. It would be better to solve your current problem.

    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.

    If that doesn’t work, try adding define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false); to your wp-config.php file just below the define('DB_HOST' line.

    I went to v3 which allowed me to use the widgets again. But it wouldnt let me do categories. Did the repair tables but that didn’t work. I stuck the thing in the config file and even though I can’t add categories via the category page .. I can now at least add them on the add new link part (where before I couldn’t do that).

    Ok, now try going back up to 3.0.1 and see if you can add categories via the category page (assuming that means Posts/Categories in the admin panel).

    It was Links/Categories. Thanks for the help but will have to wait a few hours to go back to 3.0.1 now. Am at work and have to leave shortly so was trying to get my site back up so it worked before I left to go home lol.
