 * What does this error mean? It shows up in the categories box when I want to write
   a post.
 * WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘link_count’ in ‘where clause’]
    SELECT
   cat_ID FROM wp_categories WHERE category_parent = 0 AND ( link_count = 0 OR category_count!
   = 0 OR ( link_count = 0 AND category_count = 0 ) ) ORDER BY category_count DESC
