” kept flashing at me.  I finally gave in and downloaded the grade.  I read the directions and backed up my blog before I upgraded.  Boy is it a good thing that I did!  After I manually updated upgraded from WP 2.1 to 2.6, my blog wouldn’t load.  After hours of searching Wordpress forums, I managed to get it working again.  My relief was replaced by shock when I realized that all my categories had suddenly dissappeared.  The new version of Wordpress allowed me to easily tag my posts, but converting categories from previous posts to tags was useless if I didn’t have the categories.

I found a solution by David Cumps that showed how to manually reenter the categories.  Remy Blaettler posted a trickier but automated fix for the problem.

I imported the backup I made back into the blog, but it didn’t quite work.  The real categories were added to the end of the blank ones, so they did not match up to the correct posts.  I’ll try deleting all the categories and restoring the backup again.

The other problem is that I only backed up this blog before upgrading.  I did not back up my class blog Global Frig Door.  That means I either try to figure out the categories manually, or just do without previous categories.  Since most of the previous posts were about last year, that won’t matter as much.

I like the WP-Cumulus 3-D tag cloud plug-in better than the categories drop-down list anyway.  Since, I’ll be tagging all my posts from now on, I guess the categories don’t make a difference from now on.  However, I still wish I had them for this blog, so I could convert them to tags.

Be careful when you upgrade your Wordpress.  Upgrade to 2.3, then from 2.3 to the current version.  There was a break in the code at WP2.3.  And always make sure you back up.
