***CORRECTED***

Hi,

Theme header.php

Replace:

Code: [Select]

            <?php if( osc_users_enabled() || ( !osc_users_enabled() && !osc_reg_user_post() )) { ?>


with:

Code: [Select]

        <?php if( osc_users_enabled() || ( !osc_users_enabled() && !osc_reg_user_post() )) {
            $current_category = osc_search_category_id();
            if (count($current_category) == 1) {
                $hasSubcategories = Category::newInstance()->findSubcategoriesEnabled($current_category[0]);
                if (empty($hasSubcategories)) {
                    $current_category = Category::newInstance()->findByPrimaryKey($current_category[0]);
                    View::newInstance()->_exportVariableToView('category', $current_category);
                } 
            } ?>
