I’m going to attempt this later today / tommorrow – it’s Saturday morning where I am, & I have to work today.
Good luck guys. Would appreciate some feedback in this thread.
I upgraded last night from 2.0.2 to 2.6 & am now experiencing the same problem that oseymour and others below.
42 blank categories with the correct number of posts per category. I don’t know which one is which.
I too tried all the stuff that badjeros did, with no success.
I’m hoping someone will devise a simple fix. I’d rather not start digging around in my sql database if I can avoid it.
Amen, brother.
