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

[SOLVED] Widget Category drop down menu won't work

I've been searching the Internet all morning for an answer to this and no luck. So I'm posting to the forum in hopes of resolving this problem:

I'm trying to show a list of categories in the sidebar of ATA. To do so, I'm using a category widget.
I've used the regular category widget that comes with wordpress as well as The AVH Extended Category widget and the dynamic widget. All have the same problem.

If I display the categories as a LIST. They work fine and clicking on any category item will display posts relative to that category. But as soon as I make it a DROP DOWN MENU, it no longer works. When you open the drop-down menu and click on any category item, the posts do not change.

I have another website with the same material and it works as a drop down menu. I have opened both sites in two different browser windows and compared all settings. Still, it works on one site but not on the other.

I've reinstalled wordpress 3.2.1 and am using ATA 3.7.1 on both sites.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hi JD. Yes, with all plugins disabled, it still does the same thing.

Hmmm, this is interesting: I thought I would export and download the ATA settings file from the working site and try uploading it to the non-working site, but since both sites are different, I thought I would first export and download the ATA settings from the NON-working site so I could restore easily.

The minute I click the Export & download Ata settings file button, it just goes to the home page.

I think I might just delete ATA and reinstall. I'll rename the present ata folder and then just install again. When I put ATA on this domain (the non-working one) I just ftp'd the ata folder from the working site to the new site. Perhaps that's the problem????
