I’m using the weblog categories archive tag, but it is not working properly.

{exp:weblog:category_archive weblog="default_site" style="linear"}

{categories}
<h3>{category_name}</h3>
<p>{if category_description}{category_description}{/if}<br />
{/categories}</p>

<p>{entry_titles}<br />
<a href="http://{path=SITE_INDEX}">{title}</a></p>

<p>{/entry_titles}</p>

<p>{/exp:weblog:category_archive}

I originally had it as a list of each entry, but I wanted to have the categories listed above the entries. But the code only displays the category_names and not the entries. Any reason why?

c_k,

Things to check are:

Is the short name of your weblog correct?
Are you using any custom statuses?
Are your entries in the future?

I checked those items. The only thing is I am using a custom status. I am operating a system with multiple sites, so there was no status available for my second site, except the one custom status that I had to create.

Does it not work with a custom status?

c_k,

Does it not work with a custom status?

Yes it does but you will have to declare it for it to show up. I usually use the following and that covers me for any new custom status I have to make without going back to the templates.

{exp:weblog:category_archive weblog="default_site" style="linear" status="not closed"}

ah ok. Thanks, got it working!

No problems. Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions.
