I've searched the forums and tried everything I could think of (numerous times...)

Being brand new to WordPress and the Atuhualpa theme, the learning curve is steep but tolerable.

(1) Please, can someone tell me why the menu bars above and below my header image stick out a couple of extra pixels on the left side?

(2) Not all of the categories I created are showing in either the menu bar or the left side bar widget. What do I need to do to keep them persistent?

Love the theme, and I'm working on convincing another client that this is the way she should go with her new website.

Thanks in advance for the help!

try shutting off the animation of the menu

That did it!
I am so embarrassed to admit how much time I spent......your support is superb!
As soon as I get $ from client a donation is certainly in order.
Thanks much.

Is there a way to keep all the categories I created in the bar & widget? Or is it dependent on the most recent post categories?

The items in the menu depend on a post being assigned to the category. Ie if you have category 'achoo' it won't show up until you attach it to a post.

I think the same holds true for the widget

terrific support

I'd like to mark this thread solved, but can't see how to do it.
