Php Newbie needs help with blogroll after update to 2.1

I’m having the same problem. Mine says:

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ” at line 1]
SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM

~~~~~~~~~

I hope someone posts how to fix this!

how do you fix this?????

You can check if the theme has been upgraded, if not try the following:

replace

$link_cats = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories”);

with

$link_cats = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM $wpdb->categories where link_count > 0”);

Say, that half-way worked. Now it’s definitely getting category names. However, the code I have to display links (by category) is wp_get_links($link_cat->cat_id); ? and it’s returning emptiness. Do you know what would have changed there?

Arg lame, I tried some similar code and found out what is wrong. In that whole block of code, replace “cat_id” with “cat_ID”, I forget about php being case sensitive.

Hmm. But wp_get_links now seems to be displaying descriptions — which I don’t want — and the codex doesn’t indicate that wp_get_links accepts an argument about that one way or the other. ?? Gadzooks.
