  • I had this same problem, but now my categories are back. 🙂 I’m not exactly sure which step worked, but something went right during the following steps:

    1. Updated all my plugins
    2. Requested my host restart MySQL
    3. Ran this SQL script in myPHPadmin:
      UPDATE wp_term_taxonomy,wp_terms SET wp_term_taxonomy.description = wp_terms.name WHERE wp_term_taxonomy.term_id = wp_terms.term_id
    4. Checked/repaired database
    5. Backed up my database (in case I had to restore an older version and things didn’t work out)

    My categories still weren’t back when I looked, but I hesitated to restore an older database backup. Then, about an hour later, my categories reappeared. I don’t know which step did it, but it definitely wasn’t my permalinks. xP

    Hope this helps!

    All my categories have just disappeared too. I had my host restart MySQL, but to no avail. I’ve also checked/repaired my database, updated my plugins, reset my permalinks, and everything else I can find in these forums, but still no luck.

    Has anyone made any progress on this problem?
