 * I’ve installed the Blueidea theme that I found on the WordPress themes page.
 * **I’m having problems with:**
 * **Category links** do not work – click a category link and it just re-displays
   the blog home page
 * Same with the **Archive Month links**
 * The **RSS feed** did not work (now sorted thanks to a friend who made a suggestion
   for the correct code)
 * It’s **not widget aware**
 * I’ve emailed the developer twice but have had no response.
 * How can I get this sorted? I’ve done a lot of work on this layout and really 
   do not want to have to change the theme template.
 * Help???
 * Carol

 * Link to theme download, please.
 * Also a link to your site to see the problem is helpful.

 * Installed that theme on a test blog and it worked just fine. I’m using 2.3.1 
   for that test blog. Try updating your permalinks. [Administration](http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Panels)

 * As for the ‘not widget ready’ only can point you to how to make it widget ready.

 * Thanks Michael,
 * updating the permalinks worked great for the categories and RSS feed. I’ll go
   explore the the widget ready info now.
 * Brilliant support – much appreciated.

 * Well 3 out of 4 is good. The category, month & RSS links are OK.
 * I honestly didn’t understand the widgetizing stuff – it seems to be aimed at 
   the theme developers. I’m not a programmer or theme developer – just an end-user,
   so I suppose I’ll just have to live without widget add-ons unless the author 
   does respond to my earlier emails.
 * Thanks anyway Michael
