    Can anyone tell me how to fix this. I know that there is nothing wrong with MySQL server, so it must be somthing else.

    Error message
    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

    Code that I think is generating it:
    <?php

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

    foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) {

    ?>

    Any ideo on how to fix?

    Look to see if your theme author has an update for 2.1 or change the tags yourself.

    The new tags have 2.1 beside them and the old ones have ‘deprecated’ beside them.

    I have the same error but I have no clue how I should change the tags or where to change the tags.

    I bought my Theme and the company is telling me I have to find a host using the old wordpress (before update 2.1)

    Does anyone have a relativey easy fix for those of us who are not into writting code?

    Thank you. I wasn’t able to figure out how to update the tag, but your advice did help me figure a go around.
