 * Hi,
 * I can’t seem to get the categories widget to work; while I have several posts
   with categories, clicking categorie in the widget generates a 404?
 * What can be wrong?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Zo_Nynke.
 * Can you share a link to your site so that I can see the problem you are having
   directly and to try to diagnose a solution for you?
 * Best wishes,
    Mark

 * I switched to another theme already. 😛
    (But still interested in the solution.)

 * Zo_Nynke, without seeing the error in situ, I’m not sure anyone is going to be
   able to come up with a solution 🙂 If we can’t replicate / test the error, there’s
   no path forward. In any case, you’ve got something else in the pipes that’ll 
   work for your site and that’s the important part. Best wishes, M.

 * Yeah true, and I understand. I meant, if the problem pops up with someone else,
   I’m still interested in offered solutions. 🙂
    Best! Nynke
