    Hi,
    I am using theme twenty eleven with a child them I developed. I have the categories menu in the right column and some of them like “color” also listed in the main top menu bar under free design tools. For some reason nothing in loading under the categories menus of either. I’ve researched and I’m not sure what to do, any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. In my permalinks settings I have the “Post name” checked.
    Thanks

  • Something is probably wrong with your child theme. When I go to https://szstudiodesign.com/category/color/ there is nothing there. In fact, none of your category archive pages are working.

    Which files have you included in your child theme?

    Hi @kjodle,
    I used the plug-in One-click Child theme. It was done a while ago, I’m not sure what files were copied. When I go into the editor it has style.css, functions.php, rtl.css under my child theme.
    When I go into the plug in dashboard, I get the option to copy templates and it has a file named category.php.
    Should I copy it to the child theme?
    Also, what should my permalinks be set to? I moved things around and don’t remember where I started.

    Thanks in advance for your help. I know just enough to be dangerous and haven’t touched this in a while.

    Should I copy it to the child theme?

    First, let’s see if this is related to your child theme. Try temporarily switching to your parent theme to see if this resolves itself. If so, it’s an issue with your child theme.

    If not, try temporarily disabling all your plugins and reloading your page. If the problem resolves itself, it’s related to one of your plugins.

    If those aren’t it, try enabling WP_DEBUG in your wp-config.php file and see what crops up.

    Hi @kjodle,
    It was a plug-in. I feel like such a fool, I should have known this. Thanks so much for your help. It was the Yoast SEO plug-in. Also, I didn’t know about the WP-DEBUG, I will keep it in mind for the next issue I encounter.
    Best,

    Ah, no worries. We’ve all been there. I still leave out a semicolon and bring everything crashing down. Sometimes you really need a second set of eyes.

    I’m glad you got it sorted! Very happy to help. Don’t forget to mark this “resolved” when you get a moment.
