Just to give you guys an update, if ever there is anyone else with the same issue:

I’m pretty amazed that I figured this out, even though I have no idea if this is a good “solution” or not. I simply added this snippet of code just before where the category list appears:

<?php query_posts('cat=-0'); ?>

Voilà!

Yes, I guess it’s logical, but howcome it’s affecting the list which is outside the loop? Is there a way of getting around this?

Okay, I tried to narrow the problem down, and it seems that this is causing the category to be marked as selected. Is there something wrong in the code perhaps?

<?php query_posts('showposts=3&cat=5'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

No, category 5, and it isn’t the default category.

Hi there!

I’m trying to get this to work, but I can’t figure it out. I’m having a hard time putting all the pieces together… Could someone who has a working example of this please post it for us not-so-good-at-PHP? ??
