Missing menu on category entries

  • Running Catch-Box child theme based on Catch-Box v2.9.7. I’ve got menu items that are comprised of blog entries in a particular cagtegory – “Programming Tips”, for example.

    The menu entry shows up on my main page – https://jkshay.com will show you my main menu. The main menu does NOT appear on category blog rolls – https://jkshay.com/category/programming-tips/ However, if I click on “Programming Tips”, I see the following behavior:

    1. The “Programming Tips” menu properly takes me to a blog roll of all articles assigned to this category, but
    2. My Main Menu does not display on the category blog roll.

    If I click on any of the blog roll entries to take me directly to that article, then my My Menu does reappear. It’s only missing on the “blog roll” of category articles.

    I *think* this started after the latest theme upgrade, but I’m not 100% sure. What information can I provide that will lead to discovery of a fix? Or have I discovered a bug in the latest Catch Box version?

    After following the tips at this post with limited success, I started thinking about WHEN exactly I last saw this work properly.

    I had recently made some changes to my site by installing a VideoWhisper plugin and a Wiki Lite plugin. I didn’t end up using either, and decided to uninstall both of them.

    I first uninstalled Wiki Lite, and saw no changes. I then deleted Wiki Lite and saw no changes. I followed this with an uninstall of VideoWhisper – still no changes. Finally, I deleted the VideoWhisper plugin files. SUCCESS! I finally got my menu back on my category pages.

    For the record, since I was not able to successfully resolve this using the aforementioned post, I completely removed any additions to functions.php and category.php made during that attempt.

    I don’t know if it was the combination of removing both of these plugins, but I specifically thought about these plugins as culprits because I had a hunch that the issue was related to grouping articles by type (article), and both of these plugins created custom types.

    Aack! I spoke too soon. While I *did* get my main menu to begin appearing on category pages, I lost my members-only secondary menu. The secondary menu works – if I assign it as the secondary menu (non-members-only), then it appears. However, this menu needs to be members-only. Assigning this menu to “Secondary Menu – Members Only” does not cause the secondary menu to display when I’m logged into my site. I’ve removed the association between this menu and the menu location several times, hoping that it might eventually “take”… to no avail.

    Any ideas?

    Which of our plugins did you use?
