WordPress MU

With each non-default WP theme I try, I get the following error:

WordPress database error: [Table 'wordpress.wp_1_linkcategories' doesn't exist]
SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM wp_1_linkcategories

The error always sits in the sidebar.php where it tries to execute the following query:

$link_cats = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories");
foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) {
..

How do I fix this? When I copy the sidebar.php from the classic theme for instance, all works great, but it doesn't look like the theme anymore ofcourse. In the faq it says: "In theory a theme could work with WP but not MU, but we've never run into one. So yes, all themes work." How do I fix this?

Just replace that bit of code with the list category code from the themes that do work.

I am interested too, to know how the structure of the db has changed were links/blogroll are/is concerned. I am trying to get this plugin to work with wpmu:

http://www.vincentprat.info/wordpress/category/coding/enhanced-links/

its a very nice way to display my blogroll, but it is looking at:


<?php
global $wpdb;

so it does not work with wpmu...


For simple calls like this that are the same in WP, the best place to look is in the codex. (which is currently down *sigh*)

The way it changed was the link categories are no longer in a seperate table. They are stuffed in with the blog categories. no plans to switch it back.

And you've got MU installed; have you actually gone and looked at the db? there's now a wp_*_link2cat

I got the plugin to work, basically, still finetuning it, I'll post it over here and over at wpmudev.org when finished, thx
