No categories to Convert

    okay since my blog (or database) broke down during the upgrade, I think it has to do with Categories. In the Administration, under manage categories, and then go to the Categorie to tag converter, I see now that all my categories are gone:

    Convert Categories to Tags

    WordPress database error: [Table ‘wordpressdb.en_terms’ doesn’t exist]
    SELECT t.*, tt.* FROM en_terms AS t INNER JOIN en_term_taxonomy AS tt ON t.term_id = tt.term_id WHERE tt.taxonomy IN (‘category’) ORDER BY t.name ASC

    You have no categories to convert!

    Can someone please explain what happened?
    Is there a fix?

    I think something went wrong with the database conversion that is done while upgrading to 2.3.
    I have no default “link categorie” nor do I have a default “post categorie”.

    Any sugestions for a fix?

    I dropped all tables in MyPHP. Uploaded the back up database. Re run upgrade.php, and voila everything seems fixed.

    Thank you george! Your reply helped me fix mine ??

    Hi. Just in case that someone still have the same problem (today I must to update one of my friend’s blog from 2.2.3 to current 2.6.1 version -my God!-, and the categories disappear after the update)…

    The solution: BEFORE the update, open your wp_categories table and, if they are empty, fill every register of the category_description field with their correct name.
    THEN you can update (I hope) without troubles.
