 * After switching to an old category to a new taxonomy. They are not showing in
   my list in that taxonomy page but they are showing on the post pages tax box.

 * Have you checked on the status of things in the database directly, to see if 
   things migrated properly on that level?

 * It has, just the edit terms page of the new taxonomy are not showing, although
   the count is right but the terms are not visible.

 * Unsure what’s going on with that, especially if the database is showing them 
   all matched up like expected and appropriate. That feels like a WP Admin issue.

 * Ok, what can I do to fix or troubleshoot it?

 * They show up when I search in the terms page. So I’m just going to create new
   ones and transfer, delete the old ones.

 * Figured out why it did that. If moving a taxon that was once a child to a non-
   child taxon, it wasn’t showing in my terms list. As long as I searched, it would
   show so I just had to edit each one and save, now it shows up.

 * Thanks for the updates as you found them. The hierarchical detail can definitely
   play a part in things.
