 * Sorry about the loss of this plugin. I moved jobs and have absolutely no time
   to commit to this plugin. It came down because a vulnerability was in the code.
   This was my first attempt at php and wordpress plugins. I know it is littered
   with bugs and glad for any help to keep it going.
 * security issue:

 * creativexperience if your updated version fixes this and you want to commit to
   the source code I have added you as a Committer.
 * Thanks

 * Add the column term_order to wp_terms also. There was a column there at some 
   point and got removed probably from lack of use. I have some code in the plugin
   that checks for this column and if it doesn’t exist I try to add it. Your mysql
   db might not allow this to run however. I will try to change how the category
   sorts are saved in the next release.

 * What version of WordPress?
    What version of MLC? Does your terms table have the
   term_order column?

 * 1.1.1 is out. Apparently the column I am using for sorting the Media Categories
   is now not in the fresh install of wordpress. I have been updating my development
   environment which did not delete the column. so for a temporary fix I am checking
   for the column and then re-adding it if its not there. If I get some more time
   I will look into a better approach.

 * I was actually able to replicate the problem. For some reason term_order was 
   removed from the terms table. so the queries are failing. For some reason this
   column survived in my development environment. In any case I will work on a fix.

   were saved.

 * sorry I know this was a month ago. I don’t get to the forums much. And unfortunately
   I don’t know exactly what would cause it to not activate. But I can make some
   guesses:
    – older php running on linux – conflicting plugins – older wordpress
   version
 * again these are just guesses.
