    Dear @Surpluss1
    thank you for writing us.

    I got two questions. Do you use sub-categories or just normal categories?

    Did you hear about a think called flushing permalinks ?

    Let me know and I will help you further.

    Best!

      Thanks for your reply.

      When I was having the problem, my "home page" was a category with images permalinking to two other categories: "graphic design" and "photography", not sub-categories.

      It worked for a while, but then the site would stop loading the categories when clicking the images or when using the top right menu, so I would have to click the link first and then reload in browser.

      I solved the problem by designing a copy of the home page category, changing it to an actual home page. Simply put I solved the issue by swapping out the menu category with a page linking to the two categories "photography" and graphic design", and now it works.

      Obviously the site doesn't fade in to white, and then out again when clicking the permalinks any longer, because I had to separate the home page from the one sided js category page thing I don't quite understand yet, but it works.

      No, I haven't tried flushing permalinks, but I'll look into it if it stops working again.

        Dear @Surpluss1
        that was a good workaround you found.
        Did you not find to include the link without a permalink?

          Not quite sure what you mean. Appearance > Menus look like this to me:

            Dear @Surpluss1
            I need to understand you better…

            Where is the link which does not work with the fading effect now?

            Best!

              It's the custom links to the Graphic Design and Photography categories:

                Dear @Surpluss1
                I do not understand why you do not use the category links instead the Custom links:

                  It's because the site doesn't load those categories if I do, like mentioned in my first post. If I use category links instead of custom links, I have to click the link to the category and then manually refresh the site for it to load that category. It's only changing the URL in the browser, it doesn't load the category. If I use custom links, it's forcing WordPress and/or the JavaScript backend to refresh and load. I don't know why it doesn't work, because I can't code.

                    Dear @Surpluss1
                    this looks like a bug. On my test website it works without a problem.

                    Do you have any plugins running which you could deactivate?

                        Best is if you write me a PM and include your username, password and a link to this conversation.

                          Okay, will do! I just changed the menu settings back to reproduce the error I got in the first place, but now it started working again for some reason. I'll send you a message if it stops working again.

                          Thanks a lot for your help!
