I've asked this question before, but didn't receive any solution.
Why can't I add pages to Categories? I am using version 1.6.9
As an example, just to make sure I'm adding them correctly, at the bottom of the page, I am putting the following:
[[Category:People|Fish, Ebenezer]]
If I go to the Special:Categories, it shows: 3. People (6 links)
If I then click on People, it takes me to Category:People but nothing shows up other than the simple text I included explaining what the category is for. None of the People category links are shown. Only my overview. Is the category page normally automatically populated with everything linking there, or am I supposed to put some sort of template code on it?
The most likely cause of this problem is that something got broken when I upgraded from an earlier version because the categories I had in there before are still present, but if I hadn't already created the category page, I no longer can because I receive the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: openshowcategory() in /home/trees/wiki/includes/EditPage.php on line 1126
Since I can edit one that existed prior to the upgrade to 1.6.9, it seems to me that something in the above named function must create the category pages and now that it's "undefined", that procedure is not being executed.
Can anyone help me here? I can't upgrade any further because the webserver I'm on isn't using PHP 5.
