Not sure why you’re having trouble reproducing this bug. I was able to reproduce it first time by following these steps:
- Create a new default install of WordPress 4.4.2.
- Install Toolset Types 1.8.11.
- Delete all other plugins.
- Create a custom post type that uses the built-in Categories taxonomy.
- Create a couple of custom posts and assign categories to them.
- Update Toolset Types to 1.9.
- Observe Categories taxonomy is now missing from custom posts in post editor and list of posts.
I can send you a Duplicator package from just before the update to 1.9 if you like.
I’ve never seen so many plugin updates fail at the same time before. Today, 6 of the remaining 14 succeeded and the other 8 failed again. I’m seeing the same behavior when attempting to update manually from the dashboard, whether from the Updates page or from the Plugins page. It behaves like a timeout. However, updates of premium plugins hosted elsewhere work fine. I suspect a general problem with the plugin repository, not limited to Jetpack, because I’m also having trouble with new plugin installations. Is this something you have any insight into?
I just tried updating a different, smaller plugin on 4 sites, and 2 of 4 failed.
I do site maintenance every day, and this behavior is way out of the ordinary.
The sites I manage are not hosted on the same server, though most of them are with the same host (DreamHost). They are mostly running on VPS/SSD hosting.
There must be a deeper problem, because I just ran into this on 14 sites (out of 27 that I attempted to update to 3.9.2).
Interesting, so it appears that taxonomies not created with Toolset Types are the ones that go missing.
Maybe it worked for me because all the affected custom post types were created with the Toolset Types plugin.
Quick update: it’s the built-in WordPress taxonomies that disappear (Categories & Tags). Custom taxonomies appear to be unaffected.
I’m seeing taxonomy selector metabox and menu item missing from every site I updated to Types 1.9. Existing custom posts remain in their correct taxonomy, but new entries cannot be categorized. The taxonomy is also missing from the Taxonomies column when viewing the list of all post types.
The workaround is to manually re-save each custom post type. Very tedious and time-consuming, but fortunately the taxonomy settings are still present, just somehow inactive when editing, and re-saving brings them back.
Glad I could help :o)
I suggest you look again. For Jetpack to be able to post to G+, there has to be an entry for WordPress on the Apps tab.
The problem is buried in your Google+ settings:
- Log into G+ and go to Settings.
- Scroll down to Manage other apps & activity.
- Click Manage apps & +1’s on posts.
- Switch to the Apps tab.
- Next to WordPress, under Visible to, change the setting to Public.
I would expect this problem to occur any time the original text is actually using multibyte characters. In this case, you need a smarter solution than the simple script above.
In this line:
$con = mysql_connect('localhost','user','password');
‘localhost’, ‘user’ and ‘password’ are placeholders. You need to replace them with the correct hostname, user name and password for your MySQL server.In this line:
mysql_select_db('dbname');
‘dbname’ is a placeholder. You need to replace it with the name of the database that you want to modify.All the values you need can be found in your wp-config.php.

In reply to: specific post not found when permalinks set to postnameNo, there is no folder on the server with a name that matches the post slug.
You would have to buy a license for the Pro version.
