The gallery categories that were missing after our database server move last week have been restored!
Please note, however, that the few shops that had emoji in category names, those emoji were not preserved. Also, since the categories were restored from a backup, if you created any categories for your gallery in the day or so before the move, those categories may not have been recovered.
Thanks for your patience! <3
YAY!!!!! THANK YOU! Everything seems to be in place! :)
Phew! It would have taken me ages to sort my gallery again!

Thanks so much for the update! I had been really anxiously awaiting an update on this issue so I'm quite relieved to see an update! I had put a lot of work into coming up with categories for my new galleries, & have been eagerly hoping for a spare moment when I could finally get everything all sorted out and moved over!

My gallery doesn't have categories, so I assume my moving the gallery was too close to the move... oh well... ^^ Funny though, if I view my gallery it only shows items that were in the "none" category before the move - it doesn't show all items as it should (?) because no item is in a category right now.... if that makes sense :D
I do understand what you mean, l lost a couple of categories because they were created too close to the move.
However, I did managed to remember what I called at least one of the missing categories, and made a new one with the same name. To my vast relief 6 pages of items plopped themselves automatically back into that gallery :)
Now, if I could only remember exactly what I called the others, heh.
Anyhoo, give it a go, if your memory is better than mine :)
!!! omg that worked, amazing! Thanks! Now to remember all my category names.... :D
is right! since the categories weren't removed by normal means, the items are still technically categorized, which is why they're not showing properly in your gallery. if you make new categories with the same names, the items will already be back in them. otherwise you can simply hit the edit button at the bottom of the gallery items edit page to recategorize them into "none"
Yeeaaaaay! So happy about this! Thanks! <3
Very good, thank you!!!! also for the update :-)
This day just keeps getting better and better and there are still 8 minutes left until midnight! Thanks Grace. :)

thank you! :*
Awesome. So glad I don't have to recategorize everything.
