IMMEDIATE HELP REQUIRED!

    OK, I updated from 2.x to 2.6. I made a back up of the database but some how the back up has become corrupted. During the update process the category names have been wiped.

    As the original back up has been corrupted I cannot restore this.

    I still have the categories listed – the names are blank. I still have the wp_term_relationships table.

    Now surely each post is linked to a category in this table.

    For example
    434 has the following tax ids – 3, 14
    437 has 3, 7 and 8

    I know that these two posts share the category General. Does this mean that in the terms database I should have the following.

    term_id = 3, name = General, Slug = General

    I have tried this but it does not work. The General category is applied to other posts.

    Is there something wrong with my process? If so can someone point it out.

    Failing this any ideas to fix this?

    I do not quite understand the order in which categories are displayed or how they work. However I was able to fix this comparing post numbers to the category names. Those with similar post counts were read and assigned manually.
