# 2.2 Blogroll Issues

 * Hi all,
 * I’ve just upgraded my site from 2.0.7 to 2.2 and ran into a couple of issues 
   concerning the blogroll I’m hoping someone can help me with. I’ve had a search
   of the forums but not turned anything up yet;
    1.  If I include the links item in the sidebar the list is empty even though I 
       have a handful of links setup (if I call wp_list_bookmarks() on a page I see
       them all though).
    2. If I go into Blogroll management and edit an item (or create a new one) I don’t
       see all my categories, the missing categories include the default link category
       for links in deleted categories! If however I go into write post I do see all
       the categories.
 * I’ve checked and all the standard wordpress files are identical in my version
   and the download archive (except quicktags.js, I’ve added a few more buttons 
   for plugins).
 * Anyone have any ideas on what’s wrong?
 * Thanks in advance,
    Liam.
 * (Oh, one other thing; where do I file a bug report for 2.2? I had a look around
   the site but couldn’t find a tracker or submission form. When you go into presentation-
   > widgets the contents of text widgets is recalled incorrectly. E.g. where I 
   entered URL encoded ampersands last time I saved a text widget they come back
   as non-encoded ones when the page is reloaded (and subsequently resaved).)

 * Okay, the blogroll not displaying was my bad, I’d forgotten that was set in my
   template functions, wasn’t a default sidebar item, I’ve updated my code for that.
 * Still having the strange problem with manage blogroll/categories though… Can’t
   see anything obviously strange in the db…

 * Okay, found the bug tracker off another post finally so just one thing left…
 * Reposting just the relevant bit now (although it seems I’m talking to myself 
   here :p):

 * Strange… managed to fix it (apparently!). I went and altered one of my link’s
   categories and the missing categories appeared in my blog management list.

 * If you’re still out there, I can get neither my blogroll nor my categories (when
   I post) to work.

 * This is what I get:
 * WordPress database error:
 * [Unknown column ‘link_count’ in ‘where clause’]
    SELECT cat_ID FROM wp_categories
   WHERE category_parent = 0 AND ( link_count = 0 OR category_count != 0 OR ( link_count
   = 0 AND category_count = 0 ) ) ORDER BY category_count DESC
