Someone asked: On the other hand, maybe you’re a PHP coder and you know how to fix: WordPress database error….

There are two database statements which need to be fixed for WordPress 2.3 by joining against different tables. For the first one, I didn’t check the ordering columns or exclusions but it’s a start:


SELECT DISTINCT $wpdb->terms.term_id AS cat_ID, $wpdb->terms.name AS cat_name
FROM $wpdb->links
INNER JOIN $wpdb->term_relationships ON (object_id=link_id)
INNER JOIN $wpdb->term_taxonomy ON ($wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id = $wpdb->term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id)
INNER JOIN $wpdb->terms ON ($wpdb->terms.term_id = $wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_id)
...


The second one:

SELECT DISTINCT link_url, link_name, link_description
FROM `$wpdb->links`
INNER JOIN $wpdb->term_relationships ON (object_id=link_id)
INNER JOIN $wpdb->term_taxonomy ON ($wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id = $wpdb->term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id)
INNER JOIN $wpdb->terms ON ($wpdb->terms.term_id = $wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_id)
WHERE link_visible = 'Y'
ORDER BY `$wpdb->links`.link_$link_order $link_sort");


I hope that helps,
Paul
