hi caleigha, check what is on line 40 of WP Ellie theme’s index-5.php file. Is there a required file which you did not upload or a plugin you must activate first? If you cannot decipher what that line is, you should contact the theme author of WP Ellie – solostream. Support is included with purchase of theme.
Hi mercime – thanks for responding. I have contacted support – they do it through their forum only, but I haven’t gotten a response. I posted yesterday morning around 10:00 or so, so maybe I need to be more patient.
Anyway – I don’t know php, but here is the code from line 40 if that would help you to help me. 🙂
<a title="<?php _e("More from", "wp-ellie"); ?> <?php echo stripslashes($wp_ellie_cat_box_1_title); ?>" href="<?php $cat1_id = get_term_by( 'slug', $wp_ellie_cat_box_1, 'category' ); echo get_category_link( $cat1_id ); ?>"><?php _e("More from", "wp-ellie"); ?> <?php echo stripslashes($wp_ellie_cat_box_1_title); ?></a>
Ok, when you mentioned the theme stopped functioning out of the blue – are you sure you didn’t change anything in theme options panel, delete category, add/delete/upgrade any plugins, upgraded WordPres nor made any theme edits before that happened?
– Try to re-upload the original theme’s folders and files via FTP or Cpanel again.
– There are customized theme functions that looks like a call to a featured category, image, title, and link.
Oh you are a gen-enius (as my kids like to say!). Thank you so much for your guidance – you gave me just what I needed, and now it works!
Thank you, thank you!!
