   I'm working on this site for a client:

   photoimpressions.net.au

   I made a custom static page using swf and when I go into the site and click onto the 'Wedding' button under the Category menu, and then click onto one of the posts, it goes to a page that says I need to install flash.

   Now if I don't have this static page up, the categories work just fine.

   Can anyone please help me with this?

   IMPORTANT: To enter the site, click on either the "Lifestyle" or "Wedding" button, then hover over the "Categories" button on the menu, then click on either of those categories.

   This has nothing to do with WordPress and is a result of you not having Flash properly installed/configured in your browser.

   Also, you have an error with your permalinks. Go into the dashboard and click on the Permalinks sub-menu item in the Settings menu. Under the custom category you want to use

   /%category%/%post_id%/

   A list of the available options can be found at http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

   Thank you so much for your reply but I have installed flash in my browser quite a few times actually and it still doesn't work. Do I need to do something different than clicking on the link they give me?

   Also, it's kind of weird because the static page I made was made in flash and it works. And when I take out that static page, the category pages do work. But when I put the static page back in, it doesn't work again and tells me to download flash.

   I literally got a migraine from this and am just recovering so any help would great!

   Thank you again JarretC!

   Everything was working fine for me before, meaning your site loaded and I could navigate around other than the header flash video not properly displaying. I visited the direct URL for the flash file and it works so it isn't corrupted.

   When I load your page and hover over the area where the flash is supposed to be a tooltip pops up saying that the movie hasn't been loaded. I don't work with flash much so not sure on what exactly needs to be done.

   I did notice however when looking at your source code that you and a

   <php echo HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT; ?>

   directly after the flash embed in your theme file. Looks like you forgot to add the first ? so that it should be

   <?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT; ?>

   I am not sure if this would fix the issue with the flash file playing or not.

   Oh so do you mean the flash header isn't working? Because it works fine with me. But I will still add that question mark you said.

   Thank you again JarretC!

   Yeah the flash header isn't working for me, weird that it is working for you though.

   Other than that is everything fixed? If so, please mark this as resolved :)
