Word Press is a highly sophisticated dynamic content creator. The website that we are able to see in our browsers is the result of interactions of the PHP scripts with the relevant tables which are created by the plugins and options that we select on our word press Database. Most of the time we find errors like ‘Internal Server Error’ with a page titled error 500. In the case of error 500 you are better off as this code means that your computer, internet connection etc. is working fine and the problem is from the end of Hosting Service Provider. But there is also a peculiar problem when you will find that your Word Press blog is working fine but the category, tags and relevant links disappear from your website. Not only that many plugins specially those which are used for visitor tracking stop working or work absurdly. For newbie who is non technical blogger having little or no knowledge about how things work in PHP scripts it can be a real nightmare. As they are not able to understand that what has happened to their website. Sometimes many of them assume that some malicious script has entered into the blog and destroyed their settings.
If you suffer any such problem, you have to simply get into the Phpmyadmin option of your hosting control panel select the database which is being used by your wordpress blog and then try to do a search into the tables. Most probably the search would give you some error like error 28 with a message like can’t connect with the server. My point is that the root cause of disappearance of your category, posts , tags, plugin options and related links is the lack of communication or connection between the Database tables and relevant options selected by you in your WordPress Website. Simply raise a ticket with your Hosting Service Provider with all the error codes. Most likely your website will be able to get rid of this problem, once your Database tables start working in a proper manner.
