handling categories : WP Question

    Background:

    I’m using a large number of categories. My blog’s coverage of issues and news events is commonly ongoing, and by labelling posts with multiple categories, I am indexing them, and making my past posting searchable, and discussion threads linkable with one url.

    WP has a category number limit.

    Recently, the number of categories I use created a MySQL 127 Error.

    I changed the limit from 100 to 5000, and that produced a MySQL Error 13. The Comments DB is out of order.

    I am hoping to hire someone with greater skills than my own to modify my Theme to feature a link to a separate category page, and I wish to keep a large limit on category number.

    ——————————-
    Question:

    Can anyone tell me if there is any intrinsic reason related to WordPress’s design and programming which definitely precludes having categories numbering above 1000?

    Otto 42,

    Thanks for the code suggestion. I’ll copy it all later, and sit down with a PHP reference site open, and I’ll look at UTW again, and see if I can make sense of it.

    venator48: I’d be more than happy to help you get this working with UTW via email. [email protected]

    However, don’t expect a quick response. I’m heading to the beach for a week on Saturday. ??

    Nevertheless, it’s really a matter of doing the following:
    1. Installing UTW.
    2. Using it to converting your categories to tags.
    3. Changing your template file to display the tag list instead of the category list.
    4. There is no four.

    oops.

    Ya know… just in case…
