Sidebar Link Error with Upgrade

  • I’m getting an error message about getting my links (in my case it’s the blogroll). Here’s the message: WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘cat_order’ in ‘order clause’]
    SELECT * FROM wp_categories WHERE cat_ID > 0 AND link_count > 0 ORDER BY cat_order ASC

    Can anyone tell me what I need to do to fix this?

  • I had the same problem. Turns out I had copy-pasted the get_link_list code straight out of the codex, without replacing ‘order’ by either ‘id’ or ‘name’… ?? Oops.

    I have the exact same problem.
    Interesting thing is that with a “theme” like “connections” or “pool” – the sidebar with all my bloglinks work, no problem But with the “WordPress Default 1.6 by Michael Heilemann” or the “K2 0.95 RC1” I get the same error message as stated above…

    Any help is highly appreciated!

    I’m having the same problem. I thought I might have modified the sidebar code, so I copied the code from Default 1.6 and I’m still getting the error.

    I found it. It seems that the parameters for get_links_list() has changed. I used to use get_links_list(‘order’) but according to the Codex page the only values allowed now are ‘name’ or ‘id’.

    Punaro!

    Thanks for the input. I’ll certainly try this – albeit, I’m one who regards code as something scary ??

    I am having the same problem. I understand that the fix is to replace ‘order’ with either ‘id’ or ‘name.’ I don’t understand which file needs this fix. I have looked at wp-config.php and sidebar.php and neither has ‘order’ in them. Please advise where this fix needs to happen.
