 * This is the second post for this problem. The first time, someone was kind enough
   to give me an RSS feed that might answer this issue. But the RSS feed locked 
   up the browser so here we go again…
 * I just installed a third party theme and get the following error. What does it
   mean/how to fix this? Thanks…
 * WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘cat_1’ in ‘order clause’]
    SELECT *
   FROM wp_categories WHERE cat_ID > 0 AND link_count > 0 ORDER BY cat_1 ASC
