Help converting custom blog to wordpress

  • I am working on converting a clients custom blog to wordpress and am having some problems that I was hoping to get some guidance on.

    Currently I am trying to convert the old categories into the wordpress taxonomy. Im am stumped as I seem to have them converted and populate the wp tables properly, however they don’t show up in the wp admin when I go to look at the categories.

    Here is what I am using as a test:

    require("wp-blog-header.php");
wp_insert_term('steves test', 'category', array('slug'=>'steves-test-category'));

    As I mentioned, the wp_term_taxonomy and wp_terms tables seem to get properly updated, but the category just doesn’t show up in the back end.

    I appreciate any help.

    Thanks,
    Steve

  • Im having the same problem :/
    I get main cats added – but sub cats are only showing up in the drop-down-parent category and not in the actual list of existing categories

    WHen I look in the tables they are there and parent is pointing to the correct parent id

    I also notice if I choose to edit one main cat and just hit update – then all cats are shown to me when i return to the category screen
