    Hi,

    I’ve a website https://wiseshe.com with a category ‘allposts’, which I created long time back and manually assigned it to every new post. It should have about 4100 posts under it. However, suddenly it is showing 0 posts –
    https://www.wiseshe.com/category/allposts

    Although other categories are working fine –
    https://www.wiseshe.com/category/miss-claire

    I also checked in phpMyAdmin,
    SELECT * FROM wp_term_taxonomy WHERE term_id =6816
    Returns column count = 4100 – correctly.

    Similarly, wp_terms, wp_term_relationships tables also return normally for this term_id. However, still it’s not showing any posts in wordpress admin or to outside users.

    Any suggestions how to debug / troubleshoot ?

  • Hmmmmm, phpMyAdmin, you say? Messing around in there can mess things up because, well, it’s kinda messy!

    The category allposts is associated with the category number 6816. If you use the number in your URL it rewrites to allposts, in fact, as in:

    https://www.wiseshe.com/?cat=6816

    you’ll wind up with it spelled out as you have above. However, in looking at the full list of categories in the browser, I don’t see allposts as one of your categories.

    In this screenshot the categories are categorized alphabetically and the list jumps from Aldo to Amway?

    And the scent of phpMyAdmin drifts through the room. Did something accidentally get deleted in your database? I’m not sure that this could be possible in the WordPress admin, which is why I try to avoid using phpMyAdmin.

    Hi Pali,

    Thanks for reply. Indeed, I used phpMyAdmin in read-only mode to just confirm that everything is hunkydory. I am not sure what happened with this category.
    Could not find anything on Google either.
    Although, as a quick work-around, since there was no semantic relevance attached to this category, I just created another category and associated it to all posts.(well, will be adding 200 posts everyday to it). This works for me for now.
