Ah, maybe this is the problem.

It is not searching for UTW Tags. I tried https://jcwinnie.biz/wordpress/index.php?tag=alcohol+waste

and got the same result as with
https://jcwinnie.biz/wordpress/?tag=alcohol+waste

and I know that I have a whole bunch of posts about cellulosic ethanol tagged with alcohol and waste

Reversion to no avail. So it is my “configuration”. Should I suspect K2 or look somewhere else?

Hmm, meanwhile I will try reverting to see if that works

Very interesting… I may not have gone back far enough into UTW of days gone by.

Oh, yes, and I even was charming… to no avail.

In Trac, Ryan is ottering with rewrite.php, if any want to be the few, the proud, the SVN.

Me, four. Come the Revolution, first thing we do, is shoot the Dashboard Developer.

I got past the bug by being dumber. I added the file name to the url, Flock told me that was wrong, but then let me manually specify everything, to include the location of xmlrpc.php. And, it works.

Much more limited than the standard WP interface.

I gave up after waiting five hours. The hosted standalone is WP 2.0.1.

I was able to configure Flock to work with my blog on wordpress.com, which, I believe, still uses WP 1.5, so it could be a version problem.

It takes a long time for my hosted standalone to appear.

Also, there is no choice for WordPress, so I assume that the Movable Type setting is the proper one?

Okay, I have a working premise: any category with a category_count less than 20 fails to appear in the checklist

And, since missing from the checklist, the category is removed from the post upon edit.

Trying to downgrade was frustrating. I even tried a script to reset the database, so that it would again work with the earlier version. This attempt not only failed, but also meant that I no longer could use the database with 2.0.

I deleted the database and did a fresh install of 2.0. Attempts to reconstruct the database, either with a complete SQL or XML of just posts failed. Eventually, I restored the weblog by capturing insertions from the SQL and running sets of insertions to restore what I had lost.

The same problem still exists.

Well, instead of the user is stupid, how about the user is doing the best he or she can. In my case, on a remote server, a backup is created.

Restoring prior versions of the program AND the database requires considerable skills. Without referring to anything, can you quickly tell me how to restore one database from a complete CPANEL compressed backup. Without exploring it, just the quick, concise, correct steps, please?

Yep, I discovered that is true. You need to restore a copy of the database existant prior to the new “art” in addition to the earlier, more functional, version of the program.

I think that you are wrong. By isolating me as an individual, you can ignore what you fail to understand. Unfortunately, too often a technique used by WP volunteers in “helping”.

It may take a while for another WP user to recognize what is happening. Take a look at the code in wp-admin for edit-form-ajax-cat and tell me what decisions “sanitize” makes for the user?

I have all those categories for my weblog because WP copied and improved on MT. I now like and want to use the feature. So, developers enamored with making a new whizbang break essential functionality previously provided, then blame the user for it.

That is wrong, poets!

BTW: I have checked, re-checked, triple-checked the mysql and something repeatedly is breaking wp-options and wp-post2cat. And, I perceive it to be the design of Duke, boopsie. Not something that was working perfectly fine until I upgraded.
