I have tried everything trying to get the all the options on the category view options to display and I am getting nothing! I have switched templates - no change, I have reloaded K2 - no change, I also reloaded the main template. Even the image for each item is not showing.

I actually use the main template Metropolis from Rockettheme on other websites on the same server along with K2 with no issues.

I have gone through the menu settings, which does not have options to adjust showing the category title, description or image.

I am at a loss! I am pretty proficient in Joomla and K2.

I am using Joomla 3.3.6 and all the latest versions of K2, etc.

This sounds like a very easy fix but can't pinpoint where the problem is!

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Here is a page to that I am trying to display the category title and description: e4ministries.org/blog.html

Hi. Ensure that this page is a menu link to a single category. Then check again the category settings. Also ensure that this category is not inheriting settings from an other category.

Thanks for the reply.

It should be so simple. I attached some screenshots of what we are looking at.

I disabled any inherited parameter options so this particular category would stand alone in it's options.

Here is the link to the category page: e4ministries.org/bible-topics/spiritual-warfare.html

Thanks

More issues discovered!

• Grid layout - not working. No change when removing leading, primary, secondary or columns
• Item images - not showing. Not showing item images in the category layout
• K2 content module - not showing title, intro text or item image

The only way I can get the items to display the way I need them is to use RokSprocket module and embed it into an article. I had to change the link and category to an item and embed the module into the article.

Again I am using Joomla 3.3.6 and K2 2.6.8. I am not a novice with Joomla and K2. I use both on many web sites and have never come into an issue like this before.

In my 'spare time' I may install Joomla 3.3.3 and see if that works! I'll do another update with more bugs, issues or any fix!

Good News & Bad News

Good news is that the issue I am having appears to be a conflict with K2 and Joomla 3.3.6. The bad news is I have to transfer data over to a Joomla 3.3.3 version!

Hopefully it is not just me!

Thanks

Have you rolled back to Joomla! 3.3.3? I see the title and the category are displaying fine in your page now. I just tested in my own installation and everything seems to work fine . Options are reflected in the site front-end.

I am still migrating content over to J 3.3.3, but I hard coded the title and description. I should have version 3.3.3 up in a few hours!

After spending about 3 hours to make all content was moved over and installing Joomla 3.3.3 and everything was working correctly, it happened again!

No item images and cannot edit anything in the Category item layout or some of the items in the Item view options in category listing.

The issues include
Layout Grid
Other layout options
Category View Options
and some items in the item view options.

I went ahead and updated to Joomla 3.3.6 and running K2 2.6.8.

I have been digging through the database and code and can't find the issue.

I searched through the error logs and did see this:

[13-Oct-2014 01:26:40 UTC] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/pdo_mysql.so' - /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/pdo_mysql.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

It was recommended to comment out:
;extension=pdo_sqlite.so
;extension=pdo_mysql.so

Even though the error is still there I'm not sure this is the issue.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

This is a PHP bug.
It seems that you are running an older version of PHP.
You should address this issue to your hosting provider.

I am running 5.4.25 here is my system info:

I am in contact with the hosting company to see what the deal is there too!

I don't think this has to do with your PHP version. Is there any chance that you have caching enabled and that's why you don't get the changes immediately? Can you try to turn off Joomla! caching? You can find the option in the global configuration. Also go to the plugin manager and look out for the "System - Cache" plugin. If it's enabled, disable it.

Thanks again for the reply.

I have system cache plugin turned off and Joomla caching turned off also. I may start removing plugins or turning things off to see if that is the cause.

Very frustrating!!

Thank you. Much appreciated!

I am having a similar problem. It mainly with the content module. It is not showing the titles of the items. all that is showing is the styling and rows that should contain the titles of the items. The module is set to retrieve from all category. Please see link below. the module is placed under the graphic that says News.

Try using the default template of the K2 Content module in order to display K2 content.
