WordPress类别重定向到index.php

Question

Hello and good day to all!

I started developing a wordpress theme from scratch, and everything seemed to be going well so far. But now I have a small problem. When I click on one of the Post categories in my default wp sidebar, I get redirected to index.php, despite the fact that the link is referencing the exact name of the category.

How can I fix that, so when I click a category, I get the posts that are in that category?

My guess is that this must be a problem with my archive.php page or something like that. I am new to all of this, so please excuse my question.

Big thanks in advance!

So I managed to fix my problem thanks to anstrangel0ver's refference to the category.php file, which led me to http://bit.ly/1uMC6UC , but the code there has a little mistake that I just fixed, so here it is:

I must place this in category.php file in order for me to fix my issue:

<?php
/**
* A Simple Category Template
*/

get_header(); ?>

<section id="primary" class="site-content">
    <div id="content" role="main">
        <?php // Check if there are any posts to display ?>
        <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
            <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

            <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
            <small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> by <?php the_author_posts_link() ?></small>

            <div class="entry">
                <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
                <p class="postmetadata"><?php comments_popup_link( 'No comments yet', '1 comment', '% comments', 'comments-link', 'Comments closed'); ?></p>
            </div>

        <?php endwhile; ?>
    <?php else: ?>
        <p>Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.</p>
    <?php endif; ?>
</div>

NOTE: This is just a generic file structure, so it has to me modified according to Your needs.
