Never mind, I figured it out through reading other forum posts.

Thanks, figaro. That seems to have worked on the admin side. All of the old comments are present and can be edited. However, the site itself is not showing. Every page, including the homepage, is blank on the public-facing side. Any ideas?

I’ve had this same problem since the installation of v2.1.3, which seems to handle categories differently than previous versions (maybe this changed in 2.1). I think I’ve figured out what’s going on, but I’m not sure how to resolve it.

Since installing this version, the (only) category I have set up for blogroll links is now showing up in the list of regular categories. I can’t delete the category because it is marked as Default under Manage > Categories (in addition to my default category for posts). Further digging revealed that under Options > Writing there is a drop-down menu for “Default bookmark category.” Changing this switches the category that gets the “extra” Default under Manage > Categories. This would allow me to delete that category… but I’m not sure what effect that would have on my blogroll since all those links are tied to that category!

I tried removing the category from the blogroll links since I don’t really need it, but that doesn’t stick. If I uncheck the category box and apply the changes, the checkmark returns.

Can anyone point me to info on this change in the way categories are handled? How do I get a links category to not show up in the regular category list?

Thanks!

Ouch. Sorry… I was trying to be good and “Search First.”

This thread doesn’t resolve either of these issues, but it does explain that private posts should be showing on the front page only when you’re logged in.

What version are you using? I’m no expert, but I’m sure you’ll be asked that.

I’m wondering if this has anything to do with an issue I’m experiencing… I just upgraded to 1.5.1.2 and as soon as I did so, a recent private post showed up for all to see. It wasn’t anything “incriminating,” but this could be a nasty surprise for someone using that feature for a private journal. I changed it to a draft and it went away.

This happened on two different installations. Both are on the same server but have separate databases. Hosted on DreamHost (CGI PHP). Any help is appreciated, thanks.
