I get a white screen for the rest of the site when I add categories to the nav. I don't have the categories as a dropdown and I've made sure there are posts assigned to each category. The header and the start of the navigation works but the categories just don't - they cause a PHP fatal error:
PHP Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /var/www/vhosts/SITE.com/subdomains/SITE2/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/bigfeature/library/functions/theme-functions.php on line 118
This is the code on line 118 in that file.
echo '<li class="'.(is_category($catID)?'current_page_item':'').($navItem==$last?' last':'').($navItem==$first?' first':'').'"><span class="navitem">'.$catName.'</span>';
No changes have been made - everything is still standard.
Anyone else had this? It was removing the categories by itself when I was putting them in, and since I installed simple:forum, it just gave up entirely so I can't have categories in the top menu.
Also, that's the only non-recommended plugin install - the other plugins in the site are all on the recommended-for-the-theme list.
