    Hi

    WordPress 2.7 created sub categories with posts are not showing in admin – manage categories.

    You can add posts to these missing categories upon post creation, I can even see the category section in phpMyAdmin by comparing the category number in the source code of the page (View Source). I was able to add a category description through phpMyAdmin and this was reflected in the archive of the category when the page was loaded.

    However since the category does not show in admin I cannot manage it and change things like its slug.

    If anayone knows how to fix this please reply back. Also if you don’t know how to fix it but know where to change the slugs for categories in the backend please let us know.

    Many Thanks

    Okay the table is wp_terms, you have to find the category if you have many by category number that you can see in the source code of your blog.

    Changing the name of the category makes it appear in admin, you can also change the slug but only changing the name seems to fix the problem.

    Also it appears there are some duplicates in the DB – will have to clean these up later.

    Hope this help.

    Thanks

    i was facing similar problem for my blog https://www.crazybulb.com
    when i used to click on category, i used to get a blank page.

    I faced this problem after I transferred my blog to a new domain.

    I diagnosed the problem to archive.php and archives.php file. both the files were blank. so I downloaded my theme folder fresh from internet. copied the two files into my active theme’s folder and my categories started showing post in https://www.crazybulb.com
