I have a weird bug I can’t figure out. I assign a weblog entry to multiple categories and save it. I can see in exp_category_posts that it is correctly assigned to the categories, but when I try to output a list of entries in one of the categories:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="directory" dynamic="off" category="29"}
{title}

{/exp:weblog:entries}

my weblog entry isn’t in the list.

If I just assign it category #29 only, it shows up fine. If I assign it to #29 and another category (top level or a child category, doesn’t matter), it works.

But if I add a third or more categories, it suddenly disappears from the original category. I can see in the database that the entry in exp_category_posts is still there for #29, and the category is still selected in the Edit page - it just refuses to be output by the weblog entries loop.

Any ideas?

What version and build of EE are you using? Any extensions?

1.6.8, build 20090723.

Several extensions, but the only one related to categories is Low Seg2Cat.

Matthew,

Try disabling extensions via the green button in the Extension Manager and see if the problem persists. If it does, the next step is to perform a version update so that we’re on the same page.

Fixed. The reason was that the exp:weblog:entries tag defaults to a limit of 100, and when an entry had more categories assigned it was moving that entry outside of the top 100 returned by the query. Setting the limit to 1000 fixed the problem.

Hi Matthew,

Glad that you got this sorted.

Cheers

Greg
