In reply to: What happens if I DELETE the ALL category of Posts & Links?esmi,
I Think you found my solution. I do have over 30 plugins, and I’ve lost track of what they all do. I’ll deactivate them, and then re-activate one by one. Good idea. Thank you. I thought the “All” category was part of the WordPress Core.

In reply to: What happens if I DELETE the ALL category of Posts & Links?esmi,
Thanks for responding. I hope this doesn’t seem like a dumb question, but here goes. In my website https://Toolbox-4-Websites.com I currently have 15 top navigation tabs (WordPress 3.2.1). In the Admin Dashboard, there are drop down menus for “Posts” and “Links”. When I click on “Categories” for either, I get the option of “Add New Category”, WITH or WITHOUT a Parent Category. I have tried both methods with “Posts and “Links”.
When I used “None” as a Parent, the URL of the chosen page showed: toolbox-4-websites.com/category/name/sub-category.
When I used “All” as a Parent, the URL of the chosen page showed:
toolbox-4-websites.com/category/all/name/sub-category.Why and for what reason, do I need the “All” in there? Are there advantages and/or disadvantages to using it?

In reply to: How Do I Create Pages with Categorized Static LinksLorelle,
Super Thank You, for responding to this post. Your advice is helpful, and I’d like to explain how I ended up with this website as it is. My original idea was to create a simple one-page online Favorites List, of links that I researched and others could use. I was trying to duplicate the Drudge Report template while ignoring news, and focusing on website creation tools. I wasn’t interested in RSS feeds. I was hoping to attract traffic and then set up Affiliate Marketing links. I basically wanted to offer my website as a Bill Board for others to advertise.
I was looking for Free software to set up my site, and found the WP-Drudge Template. It required the use of WordPress. I used it for several months, but as I learned more about WordPdress, that template didn’t give me all of the options that I wanted. I then moved to the EvoLve theme, and now the current PressWork Framework as a Child Theme.
The original version 1 of WP-Drudge Template used a Static Link Widget to categorize my outbound links. I purposely set the links to open in a new browser tab in order the force the user to keep an open link to my homepage. I have used updated versions of Firefox & Google Chrome for over 2 years, and always opened all searches in a new tab. Maybe, I made an error assuming that all my viewers would do the same thing.
Just for my own knowledge, can you send me a link that further explains how I made a Accessibility Standards Violation? Do you have any suggestions as to where, and how, to place “warnings” on my website that would please my viewers? I’m not trying to be smart, the thought just never occurred to me. I appreciate your suggestions, do you have any other ideas that would make my homepage more user-friendly?
What do you personally NOT like about my website? How about my chosen Header Images? My site has gone through a process of evolution and will continue to do so. Any further ideas from you would be appreciated, but I cannot promise that each and every-one-of-them will be initiated.
