SYMPTOMS

You change the default view of a category that filters the blog posts on a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 blog site. When you visit the SharePoint Services 3.0 blog site, and then you click the link for the category that you changed, the blog posts are not filtered correctly. Instead, all the blog posts are displayed.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, follow these steps:

1. Log on to a computer that is running Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer, and then use Internet Explorer to visit the SharePoint Services Home page.
2. On the SharePoint Services Home page, click Site Actions, and then click Create Site.
3. On the New SharePoint Site page, type a name that you want to use for the temporary site in the Title box.
4. In the Web Site Address section, enter the URL for the temporary blog site.
5. In the Template Selection section, select Blog from the list.
6. In the Site Categories section, select the same settings as the existing blog site, and then click OK.
7. On the Internet Explorer menu bar, click File, and then click Edit with Office SharePoint Designer.
8. In SharePoint Designer, expand Lists under Folder list, expand Categories, and then double-click Categories.aspx.
9. At the bottom of SharePoint Designer, click Split to display the Categories.aspx in split view.
10. In the Design view pane, select the Categories Web part.
11. Use Internet Explorer to visit the existing SharePoint Services blog site that contains the broken category.
12. Click File, and then click Edit with Office SharePoint Designer.
13. In the code view pane, locate the line of code that begins by using <ListViewXML> and that ends by using </ListViewXML>.
14. Copy View Name="{GUID}".
    

Note GUID is a Global Unique Identifier value, such as A28CF916-EB8A-44ED-8645-DE25D364880B.

2. Select View Name="{GUID}", and then paste the code that you copied in step 14.
3. In the instance of SharePoint Designer that has the temporary SharePoint Services blog site open, copy the line of code that begins by using <ListViewXML> and that ends by using </ListViewXML>.
4. In the instance of SharePoint Designer that has the existing SharePoint Services blog site open, select the line of code that begins by using <ListViewXML> and that ends by using </ListViewXML>, and then paste the code that you copied in step 17.
5. Click Save.
6. Exit SharePoint Designer.
7. Use Internet Explorer to visit the temporary SharePoint Services blog site.
