so i just added this product to a category called "Accessories" which is a child category of "Products". This is the only product that I have in /products/accessories. For some reason, when I go to this page which should be the archive page of /products/accessories, it just shows the picture of this post. And when you click on it, it goes to another picture that I uploaded elsewhere in the site. Why isn't this acting as a normal archive page? And when I firebug it, i do not see an "archive" body class like I usually do. My permalinks are set to the following - Custom Structure: /%postname%/ so why isn't this page acting as a normal archive page? please advise. thanks in advance.
It's looking like your 'View the next category' link is somehow hotlinking your category image as well. So I believe it's a theme issue with some messed up html code in your archives.php file.
well its just the the default twentyten archives.php. i have a child theme that's being employed but there's no archives.php file in the child theme so the parent archives.php (which is unedited) is what's spitting out this page.
so apparently it works if i direct people to /category/products/accessories instead of /products/accessories, which is very weird because my permalinks is set at just /%postname%/. so i'm still baffled why that is but happy i got the location figured out.
