   So I've created a site using a template that I really love.
   PictureArt by Kayelless
   Everything is good except when I try to select a single category to view just the posts in that category. Instead of getting the category archive it just takes me back to the main page. I researched the issue as much as I could understand and it appears that when selecting the category the PHP is not reading the category id number. Seeing nothing there it just returns me to the main page.

   All other methods of archive search work just fine. I've narrowed it down to knowing it's just this particular theme template - doesn't work on the theme demo either.

   Contact support from the theme's author is non-existent and I've not been able to find any forums or related to the theme.

   I don't know PHP or Javascript, but from what I've compared to other code files I can't find anything wrong.
   Can someone help point me in a direction that might provide a solution? Please?

   With the help of the Template Hierarchy article, determine what Template is displaying your categories and then consider creating a Category Template to display those posts.

   If you continue this thread please provide a download link for the theme you are using.

   Thank you. I considered that option last night when I was researching the matter. My concern is that if the theme isn't recognizing the category id which has been correctly coded in the archive.php file what good will it do if I separate that out into an individual category archive file? Wouldn't it just be using the same codec except individualized?

   Here is a download link for the theme. http://themespack.com/cianmag.html/

   Thanks.

   Yeah, I installed that theme and it does seemed messed up. Recommend you find another theme.
