In reply to: Upgrade to 2.6.3Precisely the reason why gave the OP that link. Quoting from the info contained therein,
…you can download the following two files and copy them over your 2.6.2 installation.
If you’re not upgrading from 2.6.2 then obviously follow the regular upgrade routine.

In reply to: How Can I Delete the Post Counter behind the Category?That should have done the trick. Have you cleared your browser’s cache? What is your blog URL?

In reply to: WordPress updated, now database errorsSounds like the database wasn’t upgraded. Try a forced database upgrade.

In reply to: customizing themeIt’s not hard to do (i just recently modified my own theme in this exact way) but this presupposes you have some basic CSS and XHTML skills. Create 3 DIVS named whatever you want …
<div id="Column 1"> <div id="Column 2"> <div id="Column 3">… all contained in another DIV.

In reply to: Show Title of One Category OnlyOne way to do it (there may be an easier i don’t know) is to use a custom Loop in conjunction with Query_posts
<?php query_posts('category_name=YourCategoryName'); ?> <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li> <?php endwhile; ?><?php endif; ?>What this does is, the query_posts function before the Loop calls the Category of your choosing. The next line simply says if we have a post, while we have a post, execute the post. After that is the hyperlinked post title. Finally the last bit merely closes the while and if statements.
The example above calls the category by NAME. You can also choose the category by using its NUMERICAL ID instead by altering the query_posts function as such …
<?php query_posts('cat=123'); ?>… where ‘123’ is that actual NUMERICAL ID of that particular category. One thing to remember, this will output the number of posts as per your settings in the dashboard. Meaning, if you have your main page set to display 5 posts this will display 5 posts as well. If you want to display more or less than you need to make another small change to the query_posts function as such …
<?php query_posts('category_name=YourCategoryName&showposts=10'); ?>OR –>
<?php query_posts('cat=123&showposts=10'); ?>This will generate 10 post titles. There are several parameters you can pass to query_posts but be sure to precede each one with “&” (without the quotation marks)
