Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Custom Menu Category Post Now Showing Up

Just started setting up this theme and am trying to get the category menu set up. The category menu shows up with all of my categories, but when I click on any one of them I get a page not found error. I did find a plugin that lists all of the posts under each category when you hover over the category as a temp fix - but I would really like to be able to go to the category "page" when you click the menu tab. I've read numnerous posts about the ctaegory menu but haven't found the answer yet. Can you point me in the right direciton? Thanks

I have posts that are specific to each category - I didn't specically "assign" anything other than selecting whch category the post gets posted to when published. As I mentioned they all show up properly when you hover over the category menu item.
I'm not sure if by default the theme should have populated the category page for me - or if I needed to add something.
Thanks

You could either use the WordPress menu builder or you could set "Don't link first level parent items in Page Menu Bar?" in the menu section to "Yes" to unlink the first item.

I used the wordpress menu builder and saved the menu. Then under menu 2 in the theme I selected that menu. I'm using category menu 2 so I don't see the "Don't link first..." option. Actually I'd like to link the first level to a posts page that has all of the post in that category.

I'm looking for a feature like this
http://www.shelterness.com/
the front page has all of the posts listed chronologically, but if you select a category menu item you receive a page with just the posts related to that category.

try setting your permalinks to the default and then back to what you now have.

Ok, I tried that, no change. I see that the permalinks are set to post name http://dailyezette.com/sample-post/ without a category modifier - could that be a problem? Though the plugin that showed the posts under each category did work. I deactivated that plugin when i tried both of these recommendations just to make sure there was no conflict.

Judging from both of your replies I'm guessing that this should be working just as I have it setup?
