  I moved my blog from minorityblog.wordpress.com to http://www.jennifersorge.com/pmatos/homepage but the main address is http://www.pmatos.net which redirects there.

  I exported my blog from wordpress.com and imported at jennifersorge.com/… which is running version 2.7.1.
  On the right sidebar only one category shows up: Uncategorized.
  However, I have posts in several categories and I have several posts and categories:
  413 Posts 520 Comments
  7 Pages 456 Approved
  31 Categories 0 Pending
  225 Tags 64 Spam

  If I go to posts I can see posts are categorized in different categories, like for example:
  http://www.pmatos.net/2009/03/27/as-promised-a-photo-of-lambda/
  is categorized under Life.

  If I go to categories on my admin panel all categories show up with 0 posts:
  Life life 0
  Linux linux 0
  Lisp lisp 0

  even though they have posts categorized in them. All categories have 0 posts excepted Uncategorized that shows up with 51 which is a wierd number.

  Any ideas of what’s going wrong?

  Cheers,

  Paulo Matos

  Its probably a good idea to post this in the wordpress.ORG forum as well.

  I don’t know for sure but this could be a database error problem, which this problem may be discussed.
