Category archives work for frontpage articles but not in sections ?

My category links for the frontpage articles work, like so: http://domain.com/category/category_name/ but when I create a separate section and I want to point to posts from categories in this section, like so: http://domain.com/section_name/category/category_name/ I only get a 404 page. What am I missing here ?

Hi,

That. Is because categories are section sensitive. In my experience the categories work in a semi-messy URL mode. Something like: site.tld/your-section/?c=your-category.

Re: Category archives work for frontpage articles but not in sections ?

Yes, I found that http://domain.com/section/section_name/category/category_name/ actually worked – now I have to figure how to make the tag that will create the link automatically to that, because for now it only creates links thus: http://domain.com/section_name/category/category_name/ without the extra ‘section’ in the URL. Actually, if I could, I’d get rid of the ‘section’ bit entirely in the link and just have ‘section_name’, if that makes sense. Not sure how to go about either…
