> Did you read what I said about assigning the posts_page to a static
page?
Probably skiped over it, Since its incorrect.
When a static page is used for posts, The category and tag bases stay the
same. if the blog is at /wordpress/blog/ category pages are
/wordpress/category/some-cat/.
This can be changed by the WordPress user on the Permalinks page by
setting the category base to 'blog/category'
That being said.. You shouldnt ever have to manually generate a category
url.. You should always use the API to do it instead, The simple reason is
to make it more portable between blogs using "Pretty Permalinks" and those
using ?cat=something.
{{{get_category_link($cat_id)}}} is the function to use (Make sure to
check for a WP_Error return on that function though in the case that the
category doesn't exist)
I'm closing as wontfix due to the fact you shouldnt have to make the link
directly, There being an API available, and your second point being moot.
