I can see the old zones, just not the table rates. Well, thanks for your help, anyway! At least my problem is half fixed.

@lukenukum yes I definitely did follow the steps, and it worked for the shipping zones, but my shipping table rates are still missing. I know they’re in the database, though.
Version 3.5.2 is what it’s telling me, but I don’t see an option to update that plugin.

@lukenukum Thank you! This worked brilliantly for the missing zones, but also all of my tables rates are missing, and I was getting that same error when trying to add one. After using your hack, I don’t get an error anymore when adding a table rate, but the table rate disappears after adding it as if it was never added. I suspect they are also in the database still. Can you possible help?

Sorry about that James. My issue is fixed so I just want to add for anyone who might stumble across this, that for me and my missing categories, the issue was unrelated to my upgrade to 4.0. My database was full due to storing the backups there and not purging them.

I just updated to wordpress 4. I manage about 15 blogs all on the same installation. They all use different themes, they all use some of the same plugins and some different.
As soon as I updated to 4, every single blog is showing 0 categories, but the categories are still there in the database. If you go to add a new post, you can still see a few categories under the “most used” tab, but nothing under “all categories tab. If you go to the categories admin, not one category is shown, but under the “search categories” search bar, it says “17 items” or whatever the number of items is for each blog. however, if I search for a category that used to exist here and still exists in the database, I get no search results.
What happened to categories when I updated to 4? Does anyone else have this problem?? Have I posted this in the right place? If not, please point me in the right direction. Desperate!

I’m having the same issue and don’t have any of the above-mentioned plugins conflicting with it. Any other ideas?
