Oh! thanks for your feedback

A very young girl (the girlfriend of my son) is german and spanisch native speaker. So I’m using her knowledge to translate some articles from you for me

and yes to modify templates is very satisfied I love it.

regards or *liebe Grüße* Monika

Oh and I’m sorry if I don’t explain myself very clearly. Although I’m not a pro designer, I like to write and modify web code. It took me half a week to modify the blog, and did a lot of changes I didn’t really keep track of.

By the way, I liked a lot your retro template.

I see. In part is normal. Unlike tags, where I use Spanish tags for Spanish posts and English tags for English posts, the categories cover both English and Spanish posts (I use a simple function to translate them); when the blog is filtered by the English category and there aren’t posts in English for the selected category (for example: Books) it won’t find any post matching both English and Books categories.

But it seems there’s a real issue with child categories. While filtered, selecting a parent category shows only posts within the parent. I’ll need to find a fix for that, tho I think I remember reading there wasn’t one.

Thanks for finding it!

oh yes I’m always around the whole wide world to find new tricks for wp

your espanol category is not found -error 404

category/informatica/ error 404

and this is the second - I’m sure this is an effect from your filter.

because I have the same troubles by testing it out.

combine this with a query show all articles would work like a charme

I’ve heard about issues with the paged navigation (the [1][2][3]… style). Probably there are workarounds for any need, though since I’m just using the usual «prev/next post», which seem to work ok using the trick I posted, probably I’m not going to research them. I’d be glad though to hear about how the category filters work for everyone.

Hi
this *filter* is easy, but it *kills* the paged links-next site and previous site.

kindly regards
