I will look into this. I did backup.

I upgraded from 2.0.2 to 2.6 and also had: -2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 throughout the terms table. I’ve gone in and tried cowboyuk80’s advice, but didn’t seem to work (only Blogroll, Uncategorized showed up under title headers)…so now I’ve emptied the terms table. * Where do I go from here? I’m also in the process of manually adding category descriptions to the wp_term_taxonomy but will wait to see if there’s another way. I have a lot of categories, manual will take awhile. * If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to leave Yahoo Web Hosting!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-leave-yahoo-web-hosting/) * Thread Starter [jam22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jam22/) * (@jam22) * [18 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-leave-yahoo-web-hosting/#post-630999) * Thanks for your help – very much appreciated!
