   I am having problems linking images for the Sliding Door Theme to the categories I have defiend. Hard coding does not seem to have helped and I have cleared my cache. I still do not get the categories I have entered, nor the order I have established them in the WordPress Editor. My revised code is below:

   <li class="bk1">General
   <li class="bk2">Shuffle
   <li class="bk3">Nano
   <li class="bk4">Classic
   <li class="bk5">Touch
   <li class="bk6">iPhone
   <li class="bk7">iTunes

   I have placed some "Test" text in a number of categories and they show up as posts in the appropriate categories within WordPress, as well as on my blog in the "Categories" drop down menu. I have changed the names on the images and the links in Imagemenu.css. This results in the correct figures showing up in the correct location, but when I click on the figure I do not get the appropriate category. So, it seems I have categories set up, however, I can not get the figures to reference / link to those categories. If you click on the figures, the only category that shows up is "General".

   Anybody have any suggestions for a newbie?

   I finally gave up trying to figure out why it wasn't working and deleeted the entire WordPress site. I created a new one and re-loaded the Sliding Door Theme. That seems to have largely corrected the issue. I still ahev one image to category link that doesn't work. Hopefully I will figure it out. I would greatly appreciate it if someone stumbles across this post and has a solution for me.

   The image-category link that doesn't work is, I believe, set up in an identical manner to the six that do work so I am not sure of the issue.

   Dynamic, I'm having the same problem no. I know it's unlikely you'll look back on this but I really need a solution if you or anybody reading this has one. Please please help us both, I absolutely love this theme and would hate to have to throw it away because of a simple error that anybody with minor programming/web developing experience could help solve.

   Basically 'our' problem is word press is installing random category numbers for each category. It will go from #1 to 9, 10, then back to 3. This plugin is designed to connect to category numbers 1 through 7. The real question is, why is wordpress creating categories based on this seemingly random numbering system?
