   Hello,
   I am relatively experienced in theming for wordpress but I am having the strangest problem. I have a category.php file but it is simply not being applied. The only template that is working is index.php .

   I have no idea what I am doing wrong but my category permalink structure and child set up changed a lot until i got it how i wanted it.

   I am linking front page thumbnails to the category pages with this code in my loop.

   <div class="featuredthumbnail">
   	<?php
   		foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
   		$category_id = $category->cat_ID . ' ';
   		}
       	// Get the URL of this category
       	$category_link = get_category_link( $category_id );
   	?>
   	<a href="<?php echo $category_link; ?>">
   	<?php
    	$image_id = get_post_thumbnail_id();
    	$image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src($image_id,'front_page');
    	$image_url = $image_url[0];
   	?>
   	<img src="<?php echo $image_url; ?>"></a>
   </div>

   It shouldn't matter much though because it definitely links to the right url, it just looks exactaly like the index.php

   Any and all help is appreciated,
   Thanks much.

   Heres what I think the problem is.
   I made a custom taxonomy "project" and the changed my mind and decided to use categories. I made the category base "project" and my categories had the same names as when I made them as custom taxonomies. I am assuming the permalinks got screwed up in the SQL tables. Im poking around now, will update if i figure it out without reinstalling WP.
