It’s a plugin doing it, disable all plugins one by one and see if it fixes the problem, WP 2.3 does not use the “wp_categories” database table anymore, so any plugins utilizing it will throw up an error. The plugin author should update the plugin.
Also any plugins using;
wp_categories
wp_post2cat
wp_link2cat
database tables need to know these tables are obsolete. Disable any plugin that uses these database tables until the plugin author fixes the issue.
Hi. I’ve solved a similar problem by deactivating the GOOGLE SITEMAPS PLUGIN. The version I was running was 2.7.1, but I’m sure there’s an update available.

You need to upgrade your Google Sitemaps plugin to the latest version.
Yeh, I had the same problem only it was the Add Meta Tags plug in. Once deactivated it was fine.
There’s bound to be a few more
Well..
I know this one is not good solution. But, what i tried was creating new tables “wp_categories”, and also created 1 db field called “cat_name”.
Refresh the site and then its back to normal again.
Reason i was doing this was, because when the error occured, i even could not accessing my wp-admin site.
So, by creating the temporary tables and field on the database, i could logged in and disable the plugin that affecting the site.
Thanks,
Denie
so what IS the new name for wp_categories? Since the default category widget isn’t XHTML compliant (boooooooooooo) I’m using a plugin.
