In reply to: Upgrade caused loss of CategoriesI have no plugins. The only thing I’ve added is a template (Networker) and I tried switching to the WP Classic but the issue still exists.
I should add that I don’t get an error like the OP. I can see the cats in the db but they don’t show in Public or Admin.

In reply to: Upgrade caused loss of CategoriesWould you mind asking? My blog is dead in the water at this moment without categories. TIA

Now that’s the first one I’ve seen that really doesn’t remotely look like a blog. Nicely done.

In reply to: Examples of WP that don’t look like blogs?First… thanks all for your responses and thoughtful examples.
What is the point of using WordPress if your goal is to NOT have it look like a blog?
Well, in my case it’s a matter of the power of WP and less emphasis on the blog aspect. The site in question is for a singer/songwriter who is blog-challenged (something she’s working on). My goal is to get her up and running with a website that looks more like a traditional static HTML site but has the blog embedded within it. When she’s ready to give it a go, then I can reveal the blog tools and abilities to the public.

In reply to: Can I get my categories back?I have the same problem on a nearly unedited theme (Networker). I switch to the WP default theme and still no categories (not in public or admin) even though I can see them in the db. I followed the upgrade procedure to the letter but to know avail. I restored the db just in case the upgrade script did something but I still no cats.

In reply to: Problem limiting link list to one categoryHere’s the solution:
$today = current_time('mysql', 1); if ( $recentposts = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT $wpdb->posts.ID, $wpdb->posts.post_title FROM $wpdb->posts LEFT JOIN $wpdb->post2cat ON $wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->post2cat.post_id WHERE $wpdb->posts.post_status = 'publish' AND $wpdb->posts.post_date_gmt < '$today' AND $wpdb->post2cat.category_id = 1 ORDER BY $wpdb->posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 10")): ?> <?php foreach ($recentposts as $post) { if ($post->post_title == '') $post->post_title = sprintf(__('Post #%s'), $post->ID); echo "<div class=\"lcoltxt\"><a href='".get_permalink($post->ID)."'>"; the_title(); echo '</a></div>'; } ?> <?php endif; ?>
