# Custom coded menu – weird linking issue

 * I’m using a completely custom theme and a coded menu which adds categories into
   the menu thus:
 *     ```
       <li><a href="index.php?cat=8">Tables</a></li>
       <li><a href="index.php?cat=7">Storage</a></li>
       ```
   
 * With a relating page created as ‘category-storage.php’ etc etc.
 * The category title is coded into each of these category pages thus:
 * `<h1>Storage</h1>`
 * But this weirdly only works when I link from the home page each time – if I try
   to link from ‘Tables’ in the menu to ‘Storage’, then the h1 tag remains ‘Tables’
   etc.
 * it seems that – apart from the home page – whatever category link I go to first,
   holds the h1 tag for all subsequent category pages then linked to.
 * Why is this?
