Try hard coding {embed:the_template_group} and see if that makes a difference.  I should be able to see the difference at this point, but it’s still not jumping out.  So it’s going to be a matter of making small tweaks until it works- at which point, we’ll know what tweak makes the difference.

Hard coding {embed:the_template_group} i.e.:

{exp:weblog:categories weblog="{embed:the_weblog}" style="linear"}
  <li{if segment_3 == category_url_title}class="active_cat"{/if}>
    <a href="http://{homepage}/weblog/category/{category_url_title}/">{category_name}</a>
  </li>
{/exp:weblog:categories}

returns no filtering.

strange.  Okay, try this:

{exp:weblog:categories weblog="{embed:the_weblog}" style="linear"}
  <li{if segment_3 == category_url_title}class="active_cat"{/if}>
    {category_name}
  </li>
{/exp:weblog:categories}

Does that filter?

Uh, oh ...I’m back to confused on that one. Or am I using wrong terminology? Your last suggestion returns the list of category names, but there is no link to see if filtered results can be returned.

ah, shoot.  Sorry, you are right.

Where the link was, put:

{category_name} - {category_url_title}

so we don’t have to look at src to see links.  Then can you hit us with a link it should go to?

OK- went in and created a simplified version- is it working correctly here?  It looks like it is. 

So- took a look at the webpage and understood what you meant about filtering.  You’re creating category url titles manually- and it wasn’t filtering because you didn’t have ‘Use Category URL Titles In Links?’ turned on.  If you’re using the url titles in your links?  That needs to be ‘on’ in ‘Admin- Weblog Admin- Weblog Management- Global Weblog Prefs’.  I’m not entirely sure if/how it would have been working before. 

This does mean that if you were autogenerating category id links- i.e. Cx- flipping to ‘Category urls titles’ will now generate those links with a category/cat_url_title.  But you need that setting if you’re going to use cat url titles.

Make sense?  And does it seem to be working now?

Makes sense - and yes, is working now. Thanks, all.

Glad everything is up and running. If you have any further issues, don’t hesitate to open a new thread!
