Categories with dropdown inconsistent

JonathanH · September 21, 2005

I've installed the contrib "categories with dropdown". It looks good. My problem is that sometimes when I go to the site, it shows the original category layout and sometimes the enhanced version. I'm not sure why it goes back and forth. I can't identify what's causing it. I've tried refreshing the page and deleting the temporary files in the browser. Is there a cache file on the server that I should clear? Could my ISP be caching something?

my site is at http://lab-suppliesonline.com

Is there any info I could post here that would help the troubleshooting? maybe categories.php (I'll include that at the bottom)

Any help would be appreciated.
