anybody??? I have no idea why this is happening.
I just upgraded to the latest version and still get the same error.

okay I just noticed “wp_get_archives” doesn’t actually print out the archive list either.
What could be wrong with my installation?
Try replacing that line in your sidebar with:
<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name'); ?>
It’s hard to tell without seeing your site, but you may need to surround it with ul tags, like such:
<ul>
<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name'); ?>
</ul>
But, try the line without the ul tags first.

whoops, sorry for the late response.
I added ‘sort_column=name’ but I still get the error.

here’s the relevant php code;
<h2>Categories</h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name'); ?>
</ul>
<h2>Archives</h2>
<ul class="last">
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
</ul>

I’m at a loss. Anybody!
if I run “echo $wpdb->print_error();” I get the following
WordPress database error: []
SELECT cat_ID, cat_name, category_nicename, category_description, category_parent FROM wp_categories WHERE cat_ID > 0 ORDER BY cat_name asc
Which is weird because all posts print out correctly. I would think that means the database is accessible.

Okay, I seem to have “solved” the issue.
I had one user/pass setup for all databases on my server.
I added a new user/pass strictly for wordpress and the error went away, categories printed out and archives list printed out.
Now, I was doing the single user/pass for all databases just to make it easier to remember. Is it best practice to use a different user/pass for every database? Why did having a single user/pass cause problems for wordpress. I mean posts printed out fine. Why were the categories and archives list any different?
Thanks for listening.
