[Salient] Portfolio page broken, how to debug?

    Everything was working fine before. I have been adding items to my portfolio, and at the same time editing some of the existing categories that break up the portfolio.

    Now the page turned completely blank and doesn’t list the different categories. They are only shown if there are posts using the categories normally, so it looks like the system can’t find any posts anymore. Even if I create a new post in the portfolio it is not found. The editing of the category names went a bit weird, like I would edit them and hit save and they would be back to what it was. But quick-edit seemed to work. I’m using 4.0.1 btw.

    They do show up in the “latest projects” shortcode thing on my homepage.

    I’ve turned on debugging but it doesn’t give me any information. What can I do? If there an application to easily inspect and edit the database maybe so I can see if the categories are messed up somehow?

    How would you inspect and debug the queries?

    Ok the main thing was not really an issue after all. I had to still select what categories are part of the portfolio in the portfolio shortcode options. Thing show up now. Beginners mistake.

    BUT…

    Whenever I create a category called “Installations” and apply it to a post, that item shows up as a blank spot in the portfolio list:( I’ve tried deleting it and cleaning the database with a plugin (getting rid of revisions and unused tags and such) and it still keeps doing that. I’ve tried several other names, and it seems that anything starting with install* does that! Any other name is ok, also “insta”. What the heck? I’ve been pulling out hairs for while on this now. What is going on? Does this make any sense to anyone at all? Please prevent me from going insane

    Please anyone? Any clue, hint whatever…

    This is f*cked up. I can not even create a category with the name “art installation”. These posts will disappear from the portfolio also. So it’s not just starting with the word “installation”, but anything with the word in it I can’t use now. And I don’t know what else to call it :((

    I have created a fresh install with the theme. Created a portfolio with the category and everything is working as you’d expect. Then I import the data from my other installation with the all-in-one wp migration plugin, and the posts are gone again.

    So the problem is in my database for sure. Any clue on how to hack to database to view what’s in it in terms of categories?

    If I don’t figure this out I would have to manually create new posts for all the data in my website! >:(

    I’ve narrowed the problem down. It appears to be a bug in the theme and not a database problem so I created a new post here:

    You need to go to the theme author about that –

    Commercial themes aren’t supported on these forums so it’s unlikely anyone here can assist with something that’s theme-specific.
