 * Hi, I am having trouble with my categories link on my site.
 * [http://www.nicktoye.co.uk](http://www.nicktoye.co.uk)
 * This is the code from the template-functions-category.php
 * When you click on the link it shows up the domain name twice and consequently
   fails to load the category.
 * Many thanks in advance.

 * Always, always, always post code in a pastebin (like [http://pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com)).
   Also, we typically can look at the code in WordPress ourselves without needing
   it copied here.

 * ColdForged, I think I have pastebin it, if you click that link you will see it
   there, or have I got that mixed up.

 * That’s the code for `template-functions-category.php` which comes with every 
   WordPress installation. I was asking for the `index.php` from your theme.
 * And Matt meant what is your permalink structure specified under “Options => Permalinks”,
   not your .htaccess file.

 * I’ve sorted it now, instead of leaving the box for categories blank, I had put
   in the domain name.
 * Thanks anyway, now i’m going to stick my head in the blender for being such a
   dope.
