  • Your theme is not updated for 2.1. Check the theme’s author site for an updated theme or search on here for how to do it yourself.

    ok

    one is it worth running 2.1? i could just uninstall and go with an earlier version of wordpress if that sorts it… i only downloaded 2.1 as im just starting to use for first time…

    where is the update info? i put ‘update 2.1’ in the search but nothing there seemed what i wanted to know.

    i think its this bit of code causing the problem

    <?php
    $link_cats = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories”);
    foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) {
    ?>

    thanks
