I’ll share my own resolution. The “screen options” in the upper right corner of the edit post menu needed to have the “discussion” option ticked.

I wound up using phpmyadmin to add the wp_categories table back. It wasn’t picky about field names or descriptors and that has gotten rid of the message. It does not appear to be affecting my blogs in anyway other than getting rid of the message.

After considerable drama I used phamyadmin to add the table back (it was not picky about field names or descriptions). That solved the problem.

I have mentioned in another thread that I had four successful upgrades on two domains but problems with two upgrades on a third domain. In all cases I deactivated the plugins and the I used phpMyAdmin to create the wp_categories table in both the errant upgrades and it solved the problem (and was not picky about field names or specifics).

BTW minimalnet what file had the configuration you mentioned earlier?

Also, I don’t know what you mean when you are referring to “K2”

Thanks.

Upon further thought about the problems on my installations. I wonder I successful upgrades from an incremental version while the unsuccessful upgrade was based on an much earlier version of wp (I don’t recall the delete tables command on the successful upgrade).

It seems like there are a lot of installation problem posts. Is there a way to safely DOWNGRADE to a more stable version that avoids this (and other problems)?

I did four upgrades that had no problems on two different domains hosted by the same ISP. However two upgrades on a different domain hosted by a different ISP had this problem. This is a VERY serious problem as it is exposing the database structure. I hope it can get resolved quickly. Thanks.

Convert it to decimal.
The formula:
Decimal Degrees = Degrees + minutes/60 + seconds/3600

West longitudes and south latitudes are negative

Here’s a site that will do the conversion for you.

Here’s a discussion on altering the mime types.

You need to alter the permitted mime types in the file
admin-functions.php (in the wp-admin subdirectory)

If files do not launch from your website you will also have to add the mime types via cpanel

Thanks for your quick reply. In looking at the plug in in the editor I think the function is actually:

geo_UrlPopNav()

North latitudes are positives (in decimal format)
West longitudes are negatives (in decimal format)

That’s the case you’re posting about U.S. locations.

After looking at the wiki I see you can change the options
https://wiki.www.ads-software.com/?pagename=wp_list_cats

I got the number of posts back with the following code:
<?php wp_list_cats(‘sort_column=name& hide_empty=0& optioncount=1’); ?>

However in this case it is listing categories with 0 posts but we’re getting there.

Wow! Thanks macmanx for once again solving the problem amazingly quickly by simply
Using:
<?php wp_list_cats(‘sort_column=name& hide_empty=0’); ?>
Instead of:
<?php list_cats(0, ”, ‘name’, ‘asc’, ”, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0,”,”,”,”,”) ?>

Now to look a gift horse in the mouth — if I could only get the number of posts in each category as was done earlier.

I am also having problems with categories.

In 1.2.2 Kubrick this code allowed me to sort the categories alpha (and also show subcategories)

• <h2><?php _e(‘Categories’); ?></h2>

<?php list_cats(0, ”, ‘name’, ‘asc’, ”, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0,”,”,”,”,”) ?>

I see the same code on my sidebar.php in the template in 1.5 but it is not working properly.

Here’s an example of 1.2.2 working properly with Kubrick.

Here’s an example of 1.5 with categories not sorting and not showing subcategories.
