 * I tried to upgrade WP after not doing so for a long time.
 * On [http://www.framedartdecor.com/decorating](http://www.framedartdecor.com/decorating)
   I’m getting 2 error messages. GoDaddy support says okay on their end (big surprise).
   Any ideas how to fix would be hugely appreciated. Here’s one…
 * WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual
   that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near‘
   INNER JOIN wp_links ON link_category = cat_id WHERE lin]
    SELECT cat_id, cat_name,
   COUNT( link_id ) as num_links FROM INNER JOIN wp_links ON link_category = cat_id
   WHERE link_visible = ‘Y’ GROUP BY cat_id HAVING num_links > 0 ORDER BY cat_name

 * See if your theme’s author has an updated theme for 2.1.x.
    You can do it yourself
   manually in sidebar.php if you need to. Here are the list of template tags: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags#Author_tags](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags#Author_tags)
   Replace the deprecated tags with the updated ones.

 * Actually, erusch, you are screwed. There is no easy fix to this. This has nothing
   to do with the theme. Don’t waste your time. Go ahead — just try changing to 
   one of the approved themes. You’ll see it doesn’t make one bit of difference.
