 * Hi, I am new to wordpress and having just got my site setup the Page options 
   at the top of the menu have gone all odd. ( see ; [http://www.thecityquarter.com](http://www.thecityquarter.com))
   You will notice that I have my page “About CQ” which is fine but then there is
   an empty space where a page should be that says “No Categories” that is blacked
   out. This is not an actual page and I dont know how to get rid of this ? Help
   please ????

 * Hi,
 * Can you paste the code you are using in the [header.php] file to create the menu
   and I will see if I can see the problem.

 * Thanks, the code is as below : ( incidentally if I use other themes I dont get
   this problem so it must be something with this specific one@. Also when I first
   uploaded the theme it was fine so not sure if I have deleted something by accident
   although certainly not from the script or CSS as I have not touched these,

 * do you use categories in your blog?
 * looks to me like this line
    `<?php wp_list_cats("title_li=&depth=1&include=$rep_blog_id");?
   >`
 * is looking to list categories in your nav
 * so if you have no categories, that would explain it I guess….
 * I’d think you can delete/comment out that line, but if ya wanna make sure that’s
   kosher, someone else can tell ya for sure
 * (of course if ya have a backup, then you can play around at will)

 * Hi,
 * RVoodoo is correct, its trying to list your categories at this line.
 *     ```
       <?php if ($rep_blog_disable == "No") { ?>
       <?php wp_list_cats("title_li=&depth=1&include=$rep_blog_id"); ?>
       <?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * What is the name of your theme, it looks like there is a setting that you can
   change. If you tell me the name of your theme i’ll take a look
    .
 * Regards
    Peter

   help Peter, Nick
