With WordPress 2.3, the developer had merged and created three new tables Three new terms tables (schema) : term_relationships, term_taxonomy and terms support combined post categories, link categories, and the new tags. Which means old tables like categories, link2cat, and link2post are gone ! Now this had affected few themes on GFXedit as most themes used to query the “gone” tables for showing up with the style instead of just using a single line of code <?php get_links()?>.

The Fix

• Open the file containing the sidebar code (usually sidebar.php) and look for the code, something which starts with

  <?php
  $link_cats = $wpdb->get_results…….

• Delete the whole line of code, i.e till it ends with ?> For e.g delete the code

  <?php
  $link_cats = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories");
  foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) {
  ?>

• Now delete the next coming closing tag i.e <?php } ?>

That should fix the error but in order to show up the Link heading you have replace the code within the <h2></h2> (h3,h4 in some themes) tags with any text like “Links” or “BlogRoll“

Some of the themes are experiencing some errors in the codes after upgrading to wordpress 2.1 . The reason is wordpress has changed few codes like integrated links into category table. Unfortunately for some reason I will not be able to update all theme files on GFXedit.com for few days. So for the time being, those who have the errors please correct it by changing this line …

Open the file where your links apear (most probably sidebar.php) and replace

$link_cats = $wpdb->get_results(”SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories”);

with

$link_cats = $wpdb->get_results(”SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->categories WHERE link_count!=’0′”);

Then replace

<?php wp_get_links($link_cat->cat_id); ?>

with

<?php get_links($link_cat->cat_id, ‘<li>’, ‘</li>’, ‘<br />’, FALSE, ‘id’, FALSE, TRUE, -1, TRUE); ?>

Some of the themes are experiencing some errors in the codes after upgrading to wordpress 2.1 . The reason is wordpress has changed few codes like integrated links into category table. Unfortunately I am on a small vacation till Feb 4`th and will update the themes after that.

Fixes here

Thanks for the patience !
