On one part of my site certain entries show up under a category that they are not apart of.

EX:

Category A
Entry A-1
Entry A-2
etc

Category B
Entry A-1
Entry B-1

I’ve doubled checked the entry and it only has the category it’s supposed to be in checked yet it shows up in other areas. I use the same EE Code to display both categories.

I can’t link to the items cause some reason they are blacklisted (it’s a non-profit site fyi)

The code used:

{exp:channel:entries channel="events2" orderby="title" sort="asc" paginate="bottom" limit="8"}
<!-- Article standard -->
        <div class="article-standard">
            <div class="post-image">
                {image}{image:image}
                <ol class="social-links">
                    <li><a href="http://{title_permalink="><i class="icon-link"></i></a></li>
                </ol>
  {/image}
            </div>
            <div class="entry-content">
                <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="http://{title_permalink=">{title}</a></h2>
                <div class="entry-meta">
                    <div class="description-em">
                        <span class="by-category">{categories backspace="2"}{category_name}, {/categories}</span>
 
                    </div>
                </div>
{exp:trunchtml chars="128" inline="..." ending="<a href='{title_permalink='v2/event'}' class='read-more'>Read More</a>"}
{content_summary}
{/exp:trunchtml}
                   
      {/exp:channel:entries}

I hope this all makes sense. I can’t seem to find a solution to this.

If you’re filtering entries by category, shouldn’t you be using the category parameter?

{exp:channel:entries channel="events2" category="1"}

Not if the template is being loaded at a category URL..then the filtering would be dynamic.

True.

It will come down to testing I suppose. Delete all the secondary markup in that loop, set a category parameter and dynamic=“no” and see what happens. Narrow things down.

Ok I’ve tried to narrow it down and it makes me even more stumped.

I added the particular categories and when I do that only the entry belonging to that category show. Dynamic had no effect.

Here are some links to to show exactly what I mean

http://192.163.248.32/index.php/v2/events/category/indigogo
http://192.163.248.32/index.php/v2/events/category/indigoball

As you would see under Indigogo only the Indigogo entry shows, however under the IndigoBall both IndigoBall and Indigogo show up.

The indigogo entry only has Indigogo category selected.

Considering that it’s all called from the same code I’m even more baffled after adjusting the code to display only certain categories.

Could you post the loop you’re using?
Plus a screenshot of your categories?
