I suppose I could reduce the number of categories so the list is not so cumbersome. It kind of growed like Topsy :( </p> http://support.pressharbor.com/discuss/topic/dropdown-category-plugin-installation-problem#post-31 Mon, 27 Aug 2007 10:24:48 +0000 PressHarbor Support 31@http://support.pressharbor.com/discuss/ <p>Zoli is correct, the issue is that we are running a prerelease version of WordPress 2.3 (not the current release version which is 2.2x) and the database structure of WordPress has changed from previous versions to support a new set of taxonomy features.</p> <p>Plugins which attempt to call the database directly via MySQL calls instead of via the WordPress category API will show errors like the one you describe. </p> <p>The official release of WordPress 2.3 is slated for September 24th, and the WordPress developers are blogging about the new database changes:</p> <p><a href="http://boren.nu/archives/2007/08/26/wordpress-23-taxonomy-schema/" rel="nofollow">http://boren.nu/archives/2007/08/26/wordpress-23-taxonomy-schema/</a></p> <p>so the plugin developers are now starting to update their code either to use the new Taxonomy API or to call the new database tables. I would expect that most plugins will be updated for compatibility within weeks of the release of 2.3, if not before the release. </p> http://support.pressharbor.com/discuss/topic/dropdown-category-plugin-installation-problem#post-30 Mon, 27 Aug 2007 08:10:53 +0000 zoli 30@http://support.pressharbor.com/discuss/ <p>Des, I had to uninstall so many plugins for category related errors... only guessing, and John will have to confirm (or not), but I think it's all because WP 2.3 changed some db tables, including categories, and most plugins out there ony work up to 2.2. </p> http://support.pressharbor.com/discuss/topic/dropdown-category-plugin-installation-problem#post-29 Mon, 27 Aug 2007 03:18:25 +0000 deswalsh 29@http://support.pressharbor.com/discuss/ <p>On another blog outside Pressharbor, where the admin url is <a href="http://www.blogname.com/wp-admin" rel="nofollow">http://www.blogname.com/wp-admin</a> I've installed without a problem a dropdown category plugin see <a href="http://zeligplanet.altervista.org/2006/01/wordpress-plugin-zelig-dropdown-cats/" rel="nofollow">http://zeligplanet.altervista.org/2006/01/wordpress-plugin-zelig-dropdown-cats/</a></p> <p>When I go through the same process with Thinking Home Business,<br /> and insert in the sidebar the code &lt;?php zelig_dropdown_cats(); ?&gt;</p> <p>I get a Database Error, which leads with [wordpress_thinkinghomebusiness_com.wp_categories' doesn't exist]</p> <p>I'm guessing the problem is because of the admin url structure of <a href="http://www.thinkinghomebusiness.com/wordpress/wp-admin" rel="nofollow">http://www.thinkinghomebusiness.com/wordpress/wp-admin</a></p> <p>but don't know how to remedy the problem.</p> <p>Des </p>
