    The Categories widget used to work. See the sidebar at http://ggashi.com

    If you click on a first level category link it works, but a sub-category inserts a “%2F” instead of a “/” at the end of the parent category which doesn’t load the proper page. For example the url generated is

    http://www.ggashi.com/directory-random/group/counties%2Falameda/ <– broken
    instead of
    http://www.ggashi.com/directory-random/group/counties/alameda/ <– works

    Any idea how to fix this?

    Sure the change is very easy…

    Open the class.utility.php file.

    Look for this:

    
$permalink = trailingslashit( $permalink . $base['category_base'] . '/' . urlencode( $atts['slug'] ) );

    Change it to this:

    
$permalink = trailingslashit( $permalink . $base['category_base'] . '/' . $atts['slug'] );
