Similar problem, different plugin here.
The plugin that is causing problem here is “Yet Another Related Posts Plugin”. I just emailed the guy. Maybe there is a similar issue behind, but I am starting to suspect that the error is not in the plugin, but in the wordpress code.

I am one of the ones who are having problems. May I remaind people that 1% of 1.2 million people is 10.000 people! And many of those are newbies who moved from having a perfectly working blog to a mess that does not work.
DO NOT UPGRADE UNTIL THOSE HAVE BEEN FIXED!!!

I have the same problem. Can someone please help!

sorry. I did it. But it was about 20 entries with comments. I copied the whole DB, then deleted the remaining 60 entries.

ATTENTION: I never deleted any post. Only categories and links cat2post

I don’t mind, but I don’t think I can help much. In Phpmyadmin there is a nice user interface that let you act using checkboxes, and since I had 90 posts in all, it was quite easy. Just long.

Maybe give a look at the function wp_delete_post()

( https://cenamayo.com/wpxref/nav.html?_functions/index.html )

to know what you need to do to delete a post (example, delete also the comments)

How many posts do you have to delete?

Solved, this is what I did:
I took all the categories that would appear. and cross checked with the ones in the DB. The first reason why a category would not appear was that some categories had no parents. Mea Culpa that have I messed with the DB before. So i changed their parent value in the DB setting it to 0.
Those categories would apper, but still not all categories would appear. I played around with the code and found the following line:

function return_categories_list($parent = 0) {
global $wpdb;
return $wpdb->get_col(“SELECT cat_ID FROM $wpdb->categories WHERE category_parent = $parent ORDER BY category_count DESC LIMIT 100”);
}

Of course if people see categories as hierarchical objects, you rarely will have 100 ofspring. But if, like me, you see them as tags then you can easily have more than 100 tags.
So I changed the line into:

function return_categories_list($parent = 0) {
global $wpdb;
return $wpdb->get_col(“SELECT cat_ID FROM $wpdb->categories WHERE category_parent = $parent ORDER BY category_count DESC LIMIT 10000”);
}

and now it works fine.

Hmm, Moshu, exactly what should go bad if I play with the categories in the DB? bacause it is already a few days that I am, and it seem to work all fine.

I have:
(1)deleted all categories that were refered to by no post
(2)delete all multiple references from the same post to the same category (don’t ask me why the same category would appear more than one time)
(3)deleted all reference from any post to a certain category and then did (1) again.

I tried to act reasonable, but I had some 200 categories that I had to clear, and there were those multiple references to the same category. In short, now it seems that it works, but you made me a bit hack-conscious of what I did. After all it was the first time that I played around with mysql.

BTW, I am using phpMyadmin.

It seem to be working fine. But there is anything in particular I need to check?

Many thanks,
Pietro

I have a similar problem. I have a blog that started in two lagnuages, now I would like to split the two. Just importing all the entries and then manually deleting half would work fine. But I don’t know how to do it.

Many thanks,
Pietro

Solved. I upgraded to 2.01
Then my .htaccess had the wrong permissions.

same problem here! Again wp2.0

It worked on me makemead. I don’t know why it didn’t for you. Maybe they are different bugs that just appear in the same way.

Thanks for simpletracks. Although wp claim that he has sent the pings they don’t always appear. I might end up using simpletracks for some time.

This hack:
https://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-hackers/2006-January/004002.html
seem to have done the miracle. I have not tested in automatic, but if I take of automatic notification, and insert the trackback 1 by 1, they are sent!
Finally

Also haloscan does not help. It permits to receive trackbacks, but not to send them. And the problem I have is in sending trackbacks. ??

Same problem here. Tried what you said about decommenting the line, changing the setting and manually sending the trackback. No luck though. Unfortunately I cannot downgrade to wp1.5 since I am very actively using the categories as tags, and I need an rss for each tag.
