    I lost all my categories and I have no clue how. I was testing out new themes and all of a sudden ALL my categories disappeared. But the worst part is I cant add them back because it says they already exist! Where can i either find them or get it to let me add them back? Please help! https://www.HectorAlvarez.com I cant fix it and I cant find where to delete the old categories to even do anything. I am lost and need some help please.

    try temporarily switching to default permalinks
    admin – settings – permalinks
    do categories show up now?
    if so, reset your custom permalinks

    Sorry, but It’s unsolved Mr. Moderator.
    I found an articles that talking about same problem for 2.7.1 version. It suggest to open phpmyadmin at cpanel and try this sql query code:

    UPDATE wp_term_taxonomy,wp_terms SET wp_term_taxonomy.description = wp_terms.name
    WHERE wp_term_taxonomy.term_id = wp_terms.term_id

    I haven’t try that way. Is it risky for my database ?
