Menu problems

  • My server crashed and was restored after several very long hours, but I am having weird issues now on my site. When users clicked on any menu bar item they received a page not found error.

    So I went in to the Custom Menus section and there was NOTHING listed in either the Page Top menu, or my Category bar!

    I have attempted to add pages (or categories) back to their respective menus but all it adds is a “Pending” item. If I try to fill in the information for whatever item, and save the menu, it saves the menu – but it’s totally empty again.

    Any clues???

  • Do you have a recent database backup? Do your hosts?

    HI Esmi, I’m checking with my host. My most recent database backup is from last Thursday (3/1) and I’ve added a couple of posts since then. Will let you know when I hear if they have anything more recent than that. Thanks for your help, most appreciated.

    Hi Esmi, my site has been restored. Whew.

    The WP database had a corrupted table in it containing the category data so the menu function couldn’t find its contents. Once the DB was repaired, everything came back to normal.

    I guess when the server had the filesystem error, in the repair process for that my DB became corrupted. I have no idea how that happened, and neither does my hosting company, but the net result is a more rigorous backup system for me personally. So that’s a very good thing.

    Thanks for your help.
