In reply to: Categories & Tags not workingIs your category widget intact in the admin panel? If so, have you tried to remove it and put it over in the widgets not used area from the admin panel? Save the change, and then move it back where you want it in your template. Maybe also disable your cache while you’re moving it around, and then reactivate your cache. I had some issues with my widgets after my upgrade and I had to move them into the admin area where they are not activated and then move them back. Maybe that might affect your categories?
Another thought is you might want to take a look at this thread:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/255330?replies=9
People had issues due to their ‘temporary directory’ being full, which caused their categories to disappear, but I don’t know if that would be applicable for your WP version.Hope one of those two things might help!

In reply to: How do i clean up my urls/permalinks?In the database, I’m referring to looking at each individual blog post. All the blog posts that have been published for some time show the correct permalink, from the front end, in search results, and in the database. They all match – they’re in the same permalink form. But the new blog posts that are just published, as well as the drafts show up as the default permalink.
The upgrade to 2.9.1 from 2.7.1 was done for me by my host because my blog got hacked. After getting the blog upgraded it took quite a bit of time to get things cleaned up, including the permalinks, which were goofed up on many of the posts. Now, after the upgrade the permalinks publish as the default structure on newly published posts, as well as the draft posts.

In reply to: How do i clean up my urls/permalinks?t31os,
Thank you for your reply. Could you provide what the htaccess codes should be in order to have the preference for my permalinks to over-ride the default?My blog has been established with the /2010/03/05/sample-post/ ‘day and name’ permalink setting. So, what would the code be for the htaccess file, placed prior to the WordPress rules? Thanks.

In reply to: Navigation Pointer issue with Mystique themeWell dah …. I guess I didn’t see the ‘Mystique’ name on your forum post title, or in your first post – silly me! LOL – been at the computer too long today. Okay, I checked again and see what you’re saying. I did see the little pointers for the other tabs, but not for either ‘news’ or for ‘forum’. Don’t know why that would be, but probably most people won’t notice that, except for you because you’re the webmaster. =)
Everything else seemed to appear to function correctly, at least what I tried as I snooped around. Looks nice.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Navigation Pointer issue with Mystique themeOkay, you’re speaking of the little pointer from the “news” link at the top under your header, right? The pointer probably goes away because you are no longer on the ‘home’ page. The template is perhaps coded to only show the pointer when you’re on the home page, but you have your homepage listed as ‘news’. The pointer seems to be there to show the user where they are, and the template coding most likely assumed the tab that you’re using for ‘news’ would be home. That’s my guess. What template is that?

In reply to: Navigation Pointer issue with Mystique themeitsalltech,
When I looked at it, I saw ‘news’ on each article nav bar (using Firefox). Was I looking in the wrong place? (The theme is nice).Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do i clean up my urls/permalinks?Perhaps this might shed some light on the issue. Could this be our issue?
http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/topic/permalinks-and-rewrite-of-htaccess
Here’s a quote from that thread,When one chooses another permalink other than the default, the .htaccess is modified to reflect the change. It replaces any previous modification. My server is set up with php4 something, and I have to put a line in the .htaccess so that it uses the php5 engine to achieve php5 functionality.

In reply to: Error message after upgradingemapshot,
One of the themes I had on my site also stated it was compatible, yet when I tried it my categories didn’t work. Selecting a different theme fixed the problem. So, you may not have done anything wrong – just could be the theme.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Error message after upgradingDid you try selecting a different theme from your dashboard to see if that resolves the issue? Maybe the theme you had was not compatible with the version you upgraded to?

In reply to: How do i clean up my urls/permalinks?Just wanted to add that my challenge with this came about after upgrading to 2.9.1, and as I mentioned above, re-saving the desired permalink setting in the admin dashboard doesn’t resolve the issue.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Categories & Tags not workingDid you try a different theme? After upgrading to 2.9.1 my categories also didn’t work correctly from the front end. After I tried another theme, it was fine so I dumped the idea of using the theme I started with – even though it was supposed to be compatible with 2.9.1.
However, I don’t recall having your same issue from the admin panel. Was your blog hacked before you upgraded? If so, you might have some bad codes in your files somewhere still. Categories was one area of vulnerability with 2.7 if you by chance upgraded from that?

In reply to: How do i clean up my urls/permalinks?I was just going to start a new thread with a permalink problem I’m having too, but then I saw this thread.
Here’s what’s happening with mine:
I’ll write a blog post, the permalink posts correctly on the front end and shows the same in my admin dashboard. But, then I discover in my database that the permalink structure actually ends up like this example, which is the ‘default setting’:
?p=123But I have it set to publish as this example, which is the ‘day and name’ setting:
/2010/03/05/sample-post/After I publish a post I have to go into my database and change the permalinks manually in the line for ‘guide’. The blog post titles are okay, but not the permalinks. Checking in my admin dashboard, I ‘save’ it again with the correct permalink structure, which doesn’t resolve the problem! My existing posts are all okay, but I have to manually fix it with each new post I publish, plus I noticed that all my draft posts also have the incorrect permalink structure.

In reply to: Malicious Files? Post Clean-Up From an AttackThanks esmi,
I was just doing some further research and found the connection with Linux. I’ll probably check with my host to ask them if those files are supposed to be there. Thanks for the reference to the above forum thread too.

In reply to: WordPress site completely BLANK in SafariMy first guess would be that your theme may not be compatible with Safari.
