    thought i’d detail more about this fix while its being processed by the wordpress servers.

    wordpress changed the way they did things in 3.1 with regards to hunting for templates to load.

    with this version, they looked into the $category object more specifically, 2 properties of it, slug and term_id respectively.

    the fix now modifies these 2 properties if its a >= wordpress version of 3.1.

    if i had more time, i’d try to figure out a more universal fix with regards to custom templates as well. other than that. this is it for now.

    It works! Thanks for the help, your plugin is awesome! My site basically depends on it lol.

    The new version of plugin works now! Thanks!
