20,008 PointsI think I did everything Alena showed in this video but I can't filter items by category
In this video we filter our items by categories based on the section variable values associated with each page (books page, videos pages, music page, etc).
I encounter 2 problems:
The categories don't work, moreover, the pages are empty from items.
The music page has an error "unidentified variable - pagetitle"; This is wired as I just tried to put it's H1 similar to the default pagetitle.
Here is my site:

$pagetitle = "music";

20,008 PointsIndeed putting a single equal-sign vanished the "unidentified variable" error. You might have an insight on why my items won't appear in each category page?

I would recommend that you review the video. Your array_category function is not complete.
