The nice looking header for the Arras theme provides a sleak dropdown list function for the hierarchy of your categories.
When I started adding posts to my site the header list updated accordingly and everybody was happy, until at some point I noticed that the header menu was not updating according to new categories and sub categories that I was creating.
I tried all I could to fix this, thought that my categories had “bad” names and tried changing them back and forth.
It wasn’t until I started looking through the php code backing this theme up that I found the bug. Arras has a “hardcoded” maximum number of categories to show in the header menu (I have no idea why, nor why nobody has complained).
Solution:
- On your server, browse to the folder: /wp-content/themes/arras-theme
- Open the header.php file
- Browse to line 111 (that is the line number in my file, it might be different for whatever version you have). It is the line that contains wp_list_categories(‘number=11&hierarchical=1&orderby=id&hide_empty=1&title_li=’);
- Change the property number=11 to anything you want, I chose 111
THANKS DUDE !!!
honestly, arrastheme is definitely a nice theme and you can have lots of fun with it. But there are some stupid configurations which should be fixed. One of them is the described above. Another one is the bug with the slideshow. You really have to do lots of research on google to get your arrastheme running as it should!
Agreed, although it is getting much better
IN the update, looks like 111 is blank..so where do you put it now?
can you get titles across the whole nav bar?

I must admit the theme is pretty slick, especially viewing it on the live demo you can see the full potential of the theme!!
