Missing Categories

  • When I installed WP, I immediately upgraded to 3.0.1 before starting my two separate blogs a few days ago. Everything was working fine until this morning I discovered all my categories are gone on both blogs. I’m using different themes on each blog.

    I have tried to deactivate all my plugins and when activating one by one, the categories are still missing.

    I have even tried to re-save my permalink, the categories are still missing.

    I tried to re-create the categories, I received the message; “A term with the name provided already exist with this parent.” So I can’t re-create them.

    Appreciate your help very much.

  • Have you tried:

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress?

    – increasing the available memory?

    I had exactly the same problem last week for about 24 hours. On three WP installs all residing on the same shared server. Then it went away.

    I can only presume a server setting was at fault, and that they tweaked whatever was refusing to display the post-categories/post-tags, but I don’t know which setting it was.

    Esmi, as Tigtog mentioned there, it went away after about 24 hours. So I don’t know what was wrong.

    However now it’s happening again. The best part is my theme has an auto-slider and these slider works on specific categories. So missing categories means missing slider… ??

    It’s been more than 24 hours now and categories, tags and even my blogroll are still missing. If you search this whole forum, this problem seems to have persist back from 3 years (or maybe longer) ago, with no obvious solution.

    I read somewhere that there is error occur in MySQL (whatever that is… pardon me) and that you need to restart the MySQL. How to do that, beats me…

    I’m still hoping someone would finally offer a good solution for this.
