Re-Post: Sliding Door Theme category issue

    I am having problems linking images for the Sliding Door Theme to the categories I have defined. Hard coding (below) does not seem to have helped and I have cleared my Internet cache. I still do not get the categories I have entered, nor the order I have established them in the WordPress Editor. My revised code is below:

    ‘<li class=”bk1″>General
    <li class=”bk2″>Shuffle
    <li class=”bk3″>Nano
    <li class=”bk4″>Classic
    <li class=”bk5″>Touch
    <li class=”bk6″>iPhone
    <li class=”bk7″>iTunes‘

    I have placed some “Test” text in a number of categories and they show up as posts in the appropriate categories within WordPress, as well as on my blog in the “Categories” drop down menu. I have changed the names on the images and the links in Imagemenu.css. This results in the re-named figures showing up in the correct location and sequence, but when I click on any of the images I do not get a link to the appropriate category. So, it seems I have categories set up, however, I can not get the figures to reference / link to those categories. If you click on the figures, the only category that shows up is “General”.

    I have checked and tried all the suggestions I can find on both the WordPress and Wayne Connor Forums with no success. It seems others have had the same problem, however, their fixes don’t work on my site.

    Anybody have any suggestions for a newbie?

    I finally gave up trying to figure out why it wasn’t working and deleeted the entire WordPress site. I created a new one and re-loaded the Sliding Door Theme. That seems to have largely corrected the issue. I still ahev one image to category link that doesn’t work. Hopefully I will figure it out. I would greatly appreciate it if someone stumbles across this post and has a solution for me.

    The image-category link that doesn’t work is, I believe, set up in an identical manner to the six that do work so I am not sure of the issue.

    You have to edit the header.php file. At the end there are seven lines like this:
    <li class=”bk1″>/?cat=1″>Category 1

    change cat=1 and Category 1 by incrementing each entry by 1 until you find the proper categories. Mine happen to be 3, 5, 6, 7, 9 10 and 14.

    The ‘url’ also need to be changed to point to the proper address that you want, including the category.

    <li class="bk1"><a href="<?php bloginfo('www.xyz.org/?cat=3'); ?>/?cat=3">Category 3</a></li>

    Good luck.
