I have a thousand or so posts assigned to 30 or so categories. I’ve tested the tag converter, but it then makes all those posts uncategorized. I NEED to still have them assigned to “a” category. There’s no way to edit the uncategorized category… * Any ideas someone…? :-/ * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Very High CPU Usage](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-high-cpu-usage/) * [hamish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hamish/) * (@hamish) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-high-cpu-usage/page/4/#post-723337) * Okay, just adding my help/recent experience to this post. One of our sites we use WP to manage is [Basketball New Zealand](http://www.basketball.org.nz). Now, we run a lot of our sites using WP, and to be honest, I’ve been a huge WP fan since… forever. However, with a site like BBNZ, it worries me no-end how massive this site is now, and how much traffic it gets, and the server load etc etc etc… * In particular, the wp-options table continually needs massaging and some TLC. Case-in-point this morning, I arrive at work and find the entire website is down. I start investigating, optimize everything I can find, search the forums (and of course find this thread) and start figuring out the best plan off attack. * I’ve been worried about the size of the wp-options table for a while, and it reached nauseating heights this morning when it’s size had peaked to 31MB!! * [@mihaim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mihaim/), deleting all re-write rules is definitely the solution that saved us from early-morning cardiac arrest. * Each row was about 1.5mb and we had 18 exact copies of this row in the database! Deleting them fixed it. What worries me is, why is this happening?? * There also seems to be a large amount of rows called ‘template’ with the value being ‘default’ (btw, we’ve re-named our theme to default, as WP was randomly dropping our theme named BBNZ and reverting back to the default theme without asking our permission, *sigh*, yet another forum search to find a frustrating solution…). I am unsure why this is and any feedback would be cool. * [@dodge107](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dodge107/), perhaps these ARE bugs worth logging…? * Happy backing-up everyone. 😉 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Category archive by month](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-archive-by-month/) * [hamish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hamish/) * (@hamish) * [18 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-archive-by-month/#post-448027) * I am using 2.2 as well and seem to have a similar problem as littleoracle. * Has anyone managed to get this working on 2.2? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [WP-Email And WP-Print For WP 2.0](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-email-and-wp-print-for-wp-20/) * [hamish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hamish/) * (@hamish) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-email-and-wp-print-for-wp-20/page/4/#post-306507) * Hey all, * I’m really sorry if this question has been answered somewhere else, but does wp-print work with pages as well as posts? Or just posts? * Cheers, Hamish * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Foldable page list (WP 1.5)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/foldable-page-list-wp-15/) * [hamish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hamish/) * (@hamish) * [19 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/foldable-page-list-wp-15/page/3/#post-193151) * Hey roblgs * I forgot to reply to this post and say thanks for your help.

Did you ever manage to get your base category set to “/”? I too can safely manage my root folders and would love to get this re-write working like you mention above. * Cheers! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Foldable page list (WP 1.5)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/foldable-page-list-wp-15/) * [hamish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hamish/) * (@hamish) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/foldable-page-list-wp-15/page/3/#post-193079) * Hi there. Thanks for this plugin. It has helped me considerably in reducing my headaches today. I do have a small question, however. I am attempting to setup a site using WP as a functioning CMS for a small website we are developing. This is purely a test run for us as we are keen to see if in fact WP can work how we want it to. So here’s my question: * We have a horizontal primary nav set up within a
tag. That is fine and everything displays correctly. However, I a want to know if a secondary nav (children of the parent items) can be displayed elsewhere on the page, ie. in a seperate div tag (perhaps vertical on RH column), hence I need two customised ‘wswwpx’ tags for displaying the different parts of the navigation. * Does this make sense? Can anyone help me? Cheers. Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total)
