texte = I've narrowed the problem down to the URL context on eventslist.tpl. If I select a single word category named test the eventscategory.tpl returns listings for category test. However, if I select a multiword Category Sport Psychology the eventscategory.tpl page sends back a message There were 0 results found for category: Sport --not Sport Psychology. I've triple checked to be sure that my [URL] context is opened and closed properly. I've also compared it to other functioning [url] contexts in my site.Any ideas?Thanks.Robert McPeak wrote:> John -- > > I tried your suggestions (except for the .inc vs. .htm for includes -- later) but still no luck.
