-- After I install script on my server I get some errors:
   A. The main page comes up but as soon as I click on any link I get an error page.

This can be caused by a few cases.

1. You have the widget Linkin ID instead of the API Linkin ID. You will need the API Linkin ID for our product to work correctly.
2. Your hosting provider has banned outbound connections. For example GoDaddy.

   B. I don't see any subcategories. I see the message in the side menu: "There are no additional ways to narrow down these results."
