After upgrading to WordPress 2.1 yesterday afternoon, I thought I’d managed the leap to the newest version of one of the most successful blogging software packages without a single misstep.
Wrong. Not a single link was appearing on my site. Oddly, no MySQL or PHP errors were thrown; the template tags get_links() just weren’t rendering my list items.
Here’s the deal: Running upgrade.php moved all my link categories into the global category table and gave them new primary keys. Of course I didn’t even think about the category ids in my queries (why force this change in the DB without telling us?), but I soon realized what the problem was, and turned back to my templates, swapped out the old link category ids for the new global category ids, and voila!
