Categories never show entries

[vdboor]

The categories at my blog remain empty. For example:

http://www.codingdomain.com/blog/catego ... pen-Source

At the sidebar, you can see there are entries listed in the categories.
I've updated to the latest version of serendipity, but the bug remains.
Do you have any idea what is causing this?

Hi!

Most often this is a problem due to missing database columns.

Use a tool like phpMyAdmin to check your serendipity_categorytable and see if it has got the columns "parentid", "sort_order" and "hide_sub". If it is missing any of those, you didn't execute the s9y upgrade properly at some point.

We can help you to recreate the missing columns, but it would be important to know which upgrades you executed to gather all the column changes you will have missed. Or if you know some basic phpMyAdmin, check the file sql/db.sql and make sure that all columns mentioned there exist in your database.
