I use wp 2.8.5. I see in my PC local wordpress database for widget_categories, option_value is ‘a:3:{i:2;a:0:{}i:4;a:4:{s:5:”title”;s:0:””;s:5:”count”;i:0;s:12:”hierarchical”;i:0;s:8:”dropdown”;i:0;}s:12:”_multiwidget”;i:1;}’ so i copy then paste into my host database server.
Its work…hah…. i dont believe. Thanks admin@caservers.net. I love u full.
To admin@caservers.net: Thank you! Worked for me.
I’m using WordPress 2.9.2 and suddenly the categories, tags and links were missing, attempted to do many things without results until I saw your message. I created a new database and made a dump from the “failed” database, and all is working ok again.
Thank you very much!
So, this is bizarre. I was missing half of my admin options and after some troubleshooting the behaviour persisted. By chance I switched browsers and discovered (to my delight) that in Safari my admin panel is fine. It’s Firefox that’s not showing all of the options.
