 * That’s great, Michael!
 * I’ve tried to get it not to create a listener if the taxonomy doesn’t have any
   posts (since getElementById throws a javascript error for the taxonomy that is
   null), but was unable to do it. I can’t even figure out where the global field
   is being set. sheesh)
 * For now, I’ll just have to not create a widget in the sidebar until I know there
   are posts in it. So I add it, and if I just get a title, then I remove it.
 * I’m really looking forward to having it not even spit out a title in the sidebar
   unless the taxonomy is actually populated with posts. I’m thinking that could
   all happen in one step, sort of? So you would still be able to create the widget
   in the sidebar, but if a taxonomy had no posts, it wouldn’t create output or 
   a listener. And then later, when posts got added to that one, it would print 
   the title and the list, and create the listener.
 * Am I asking too much? I certainly haven’t been able to do it, but I’m really 
   new at both php and javascript.
 * I appreciate all you’re doing!

 * I’d like to add my vote to **not show the list when there are no posts currently
   using that taxonomy**.
 * I have a number of them that I’ve created for my client’s future possible use,
   but until she adds something that uses them, just a title shows up, which can
   be confusing. I could choose not to show the title, but I think it’s kind of 
   important to include that when there actually are things in the dropdown (it’s
   not always obvious).
 * It’s a wonderful plugin and just what I needed. I use it in combination with 
   Custom Post Type List Widget (which shows a list of custom post types).
 * Thanks for your help,

 * Okay, I got crazy in the database, trying to fix this, with no idea what I was
   doing. However, I deleted a few things that said nav_menu_item that had no title.
   This allowed me to at least click the “menu” admin button. I got a very ugly 
   screen with the word “Collections” at the top. Searched the database again and
   found one record called collections. I deleted that one, (along with a duplicate
   custom menu under widgets), and voila!, I am back in business.
 * I don’t think it’s a coincidence that it happened after the upgrade. It probably
   reread some stuff that had been bypassed and hiccuped. I am now officially scary
   in databases.
 * Thanks for your help.

 * Yes, thank you, govpatel.
 * I tried Thematic and Twenty-Ten. Same error. And only on the menus admin page.
   I can access all of the other admin areas without error. Even my widgets (that
   have custom menus in them) are working fine, as is the blog. But everytime I 
   click “Menus” on the left, I get the same error on line 433 (something about 
   utf-8).
 * I’m using PHP5, I disabled all plugins except Akismet, but nothing’s working.
   I simply cannot get to my menu management on the admin screen.

 * Thanks for all the help, everyone.
 * I ran a check database and it said everything was fine. But since I’d exhausted
   everything else, including the fine suggestions here, and was getting dizzy from
   reading through all the code, I went ahead and ran a repair database and voila!–
   I can once again login. Who knows how it happened, but since it’s fixed, my mood
   has been greatly elevated. (Of course, it might be the Thai food I just had.)
 * Hopefully, if anyone else gets stuck in a similar situation, this thread might
   help them a little.
 * Thanks again,

 * Clayton:
 * I don’t have an index.php in any of my other sites’ wordpress directories and
   they’re still working. I even have a copy of this whole site on my test server(
   no index.php in the wpsystem folder there, either) and I can login there just
   fine.
 * Since I run everything from the top directory (www.erinhydequilts.com), that’s
   where the index.php is that’s doing the work.
 * I did, of course, try putting one back in with the same settings as the mother
   directory, but it didn’t help, so I took it back out to match the installation
   on the test server.
 * Thanks for the suggestion.

 * Thanks for the help, t-p and webjunk,
 * tp:
 * I tried removing/naming .htaccess. No help. I still get a 404 not found error,
   but this time from Bluehost. When the original .htaccess was there, the 404 error
   was a page in the site, with the theme intact. When I remove the .htaccess, I
   just get a vanilla 404 error.
 * I can’t switch themes, since I can’t login to the admin area. I don’t even get
   a login screen. I just get 404 not found (even though I can get to the site itself).
   [http://www.erinhydequilts.com/](http://www.erinhydequilts.com/)
 * I do have ftp access, as I mentioned in the original post (that’s how I changed.
   htaccess), but how do I change the theme there? Is that what you were suggesting?
 * webjunk:
 * I checked the siteurl in phpMyAdmin and it hasn’t changed. It correctly targets
   the subdirectory where I installed WordPress, which is what it was when it was
   working, as well.
 * When you say to check the Admin accounts, can you be more specific? The account
   with the name Admin is gone (I followed Sitepoints security recommendations and
   removed it after creating new adminstrative accounts with different names.) The
   three admin accounts are all showing up in the database, but I don’t know what
   else to look for.
 * Thanks again. I’m in real trouble here, so I’m really grateful for anyone’s help.

 * Not only doesn’t it work, but it totally disables WordPress for me altogether.(
   WordPress 3.0) The only way I could get back into my site was to remove the Events
   Calendar plugin folder out in my file manager. I should think that if a plugin
   fails (which it did), it would just not install at all, but the new code was 
   trying to run anyway. The error I received should not surprise you:
 * `Fatal error: Cannot redeclare is_rtl() (previously declared in C:\wamp\www\explore_ca\
   blog\wp-includes\locale.php:347) in C:\wamp\www\explore_ca\blog\wp-includes\locale.
   php on line 349`
 * I was trying this plugin because it’s used as an example in a Lynda.com tutorial
   and I wanted to walk through the steps with the video.
 * Lastly, when I hit the bug tracker link under Details, it took me here:
    **[bug tracker](http://tracker.eventscalendar.com/)**
   which is one of those darn advertising sites that pops up windows all over my
   screen. Please update that link.

   it to work. No idea why, since nothing changed, but the extra characters are 
   now gone. And as promised, I have contributed to the author. 🙂

 * Thanks. Do you know the name of a plugin that will do that? I’m using the setup
   that came with WordPress when I installed it, so the note I mentioned earlier
   is the default. That’s why I was confused.

 * I’m just curious – if Pages can’t be categorized, then why, on the Write Page
   tab, does it say at the bottom:
 * Filed under: Uncategorized �? @ 10:53 am
 * That’s where I got the impression I could categorize them.
