    Hi guys,

    after upgrading http://http://www.wiwis-kohle.de/ to wordpress 3.3 all archive (category) pages on the left side went empty. Before with WP 2.6 on the category pages we had all posts displayed correctly. It’s a custom theme, but i’m just using standard wordpress tags. my archive page looks like:

    `<?php get_header(); ?>
    <div id=”content” role=”main”>
    <div class=”navigation”>
    <div class=”alignleft”><?php next_posts_link(__(‘« Older Entries’, ‘kubrick’)); ?></div>
    <div class=”alignright”><?php previous_posts_link(__(‘Newer Entries »’, ‘kubrick’)); ?></div>
    </div>
    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <div <?php post_class(); ?>>
    <div class=”entry”>
    <?php the_content() ?>
    </div>
    </div>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    </div>
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>’

    Nothing special. All the posts are still there, but when calling the category pages, nothing is being displayed.

    Post, e.g.
    http://www.wiwis-kohle.de/schweizer-kohlebrief/schweizer-kohlebrief.html

    Category, empty:
    http://www.wiwis-kohle.de/schweizer-kohlebrief

    any idea for a solution?

    cheers
    frank,

    I had the same exact problem.
    For me, here was the thing though: it had nothing to do with ‘categories’, but rather the functions I placed within ‘while (have_posts…’

    1. You have to disable all plugins.

    For some reason, no errors were returned when plugins were activated.

    2. There are two possibilities:

    – categories now work

    This seems to be the popular consensus – that disabling plugins would fix the problem. If all of your functions are native, this possibility should be the one.
    If not, try switching to Twenty Eleven:
        -if it works, something is wrong with your theme (redownload/reinstall theme)
        – if it doesn’t work, something was wrong with your installation of wordpress (and possibly your theme too – redownload/reinstall wordpress/repeat)

    – error(s) pop up

    My errors actually denoted undefined functions in succession, which was quite easy to fix. Very simply, I modified the ‘functions.php’ of wordpress prior to updating, so any customized functions were obviously deleted.

    This might help. For me, I had to add function capabilities to the theme – like this:

    add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

    Then, I had to (re)define custom functions – amongst them:

    fetch_first_img () {
$files = get_children('post_parent='.get_the_ID().'&post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image');
if($files) :
$keys = array_reverse(array_keys($files));
$j=0;
$num = $keys[$j];
$image=wp_get_attachment_image($num, 'large', false);
$imagepieces = explode('"', $image);
$imagepath = $imagepieces[1];
$thumb=wp_get_attachment_thumb_url($num);
echo '<img src='.$thumb.' class="thumbnail" />';
endif;
}

    I hope this helps. =)
