    should be archive.php or you can copy paste archive.php and rename it to category.php if you want to target category only.

    Hi i am having an issue with this too

    I cannot delete a category on my category list

    and any other “category name” i create becomes child to the category
    that cannot be deleted !!

    the category that cannot be deleted does not show “delete” while editing it !

    please help.
    thanx in advance.

    i don’t understand, are you saying any category in wp-admin->posts->category cannot be deleted? shouldn’t be theme related issue, any plugin causing this?

    Hi, Richie..
    Yes, in fact that’s the case.

    there is a category that is impossible to delete
    it does not even show “delete” on both Edit and quick edit ..

    any other category i create directly and “automatically becomes child to that category..

    i deleted all other categories, but that one is still there..

    i only have two plugins installed now
    i always deleted any plugin that showed error messages.

    is there anyway i could get around this
    or any php file i should look at to resolve this.

    thank you very much.

    ****** Note : *******
    your amazing theme was translated to Arabic.
    so when i try to select “category” on “featured categories” in theme options

    i get bizarre text that cannot be read
    and if choose any category
    the catogories selected seem to work
    but on top of them

    i see, first what version of the theme you using? i think the slug bug were fixed in later 1.5+ or latest version 1.6.1

    are you using child theme? maybe templates need to be updated to newer version if needed.

    especially the lib/templates/home-feat-cat.php which had some template code changes.

    try download the latest version and activated them.
    but do not overwrite your current active theme.

    Hi Richie
    thank you for your kind response.

    in fact yes, a child theme is being used.

    and yes, i am using the 1.5 version of your theme.

    i tried more than a dozen translated-to-arabic themes
    and i have to say, yours is the most stable up to now..
    just having these small issues but overall it’s perfect.

    i downloaded the 1.6.1 version
    then took the “/home-feat-cat.php “
    deleted the one i have on server (of the 1.5 version)
    but the problem is still there !

    is there anyway i could adress this problem in the child theme before i upgrade to version1.6.1

    thank you very much.

    could you list out what file you have in child theme, if only a few there is..

    Hi
    the only file in the child theme is the “style.css” file that goes as follows :

    ok try backup the current parent theme first.
    download latest version and copy paste this file to your parent theme
    – lib/functions/all file
    – lib/templates/home-feat-cat.php
    – index.php
    – delete front-page.php if have one

    go to wp-admin->appeareace->theme options-resave all settings inclusing the featured category and count.
