I've added lyftenbloggie and the blog categories module but whenever i click on a category in either the actual entry or the blog categories section nothing happens. you can see what i mean here: http://www.fifigoodlife.co.uk/blog

any ideas about what i've missed out doing anyone?

I also have problems with the category module. It shows my categories with correct count, besides the default category which seems to show the count of the total entries. But when I click on a category I always get the message that there are no entries in the specific category.

I looked at your site, and it seems to work for you now? Have you made any changes?


I have the same problem - I categorised my posts - they show up fine in the backend list, the frontend blogs have the correct categories in the header, but when clicking on the category name, the message comes back with "No blog entries found in category xxxxxxx".  It makes the categories not very useful.

I'm having the same problem.  Did anyone come up with a solution?
I'll see what I can do. I going to have a look at and rewrite all of the modules for the new release.

SOLVED!!

Ok I found a work around for this and thought I would post it in case it helps others out there. 

In my case the issue was with the dashes in the url structure of the category slug. So when you create a category the url looks like this www.mywebsite.com.au/blog/category-1

all you need to do is change the dash to an underscore and this seemed to alleviate the issue for me. 

How to fix Lyften Bloggie Category Slugs

You will need to do this in myphpadmin. (remember to take a backup of your website and database before you do this)

  1. Log into your control panel and click on myphpadmin. 
  2. Choose the database that your Joomla install resides on
  3. Do a search for the category slug that's not working (you can get the category slug from the category section in lyfton bloggie back-end or copy and paste the url from your browser bar) note - only search for the 'category-1' not  'www.mywebsite.com.au/blog/category-1'
  4. Open the record that has your url in it and change the - to an _ and hit go
That's it you're done. Your blog should now be fixed!!!

Hope this helps.

Pete
