Thanks for this post, slightly worrying as I’ve so far clicked on upgrade without worrying about it (especially as it says in Fantastico that the data is backed up) but I’ll be more careful now. Having said that I don’t have half so many categories yet.

Tried it but I still have one strange problem…

Every time I locate the number of a category, and go ahead and try to edit it as in giving it its original name, a number is automatically assigned to it, and therefore it has a new url link that differs from the old one because of that number…

Say I wanted to name a category: (Review) which is its original name before upgrading and the problem… it will end up being (Review 2) because I think wordpress detects another link with the name review, so it gives it a number which messes everything up! Tried everything to avoid the number being assigned, but no use…

Can anyone suggest a solution for that?

Thanks…
