Entries in a category not looping

Question

This is my code:

{exp:channel:categories channel="products_insurance" style="linear"}
                <li data-submenu-id="submenu-{category_name}">
                    <a href="{path='borrow/#filter={category_url_title}'}">{category_name}</a>
                        <ul class="submenu">
                            {exp:channel:entries category="{category_id}"}
                            <li><a href="{url}">{title}</a></li>
                            {/exp:channel:entries}

                         </ul>
                 </li>
{/exp:channel:categories}

this part though:

{exp:channel:entries category="{category_id}"}
<li><a href="{url}">{title}</a></li>
{/exp:channel:entries}

is not looping, it's only showing the entries for the first category.

This is for a custom dropdown menu I'm working on.

Any ideas why it's not looping? From what I can tell it should be.

Answer 1

As JChrono asks, please verify the outer categories loop is putting all relivent ID's out.

Further still, to avoid any unwanted URL interference add the dynamic tag to your channel entries loop, also try forcing the parse order with parse="inward" on the categories loop, like so :

{exp:channel:categories channel="products_insurance" style="linear" parse="inward"}
  <li data-submenu-id="submenu-{category_name}">
    <a href="{path='borrow/#filter={category_url_title}'}">{category_name}</a>
      <ul class="submenu">
        {exp:channel:entries category="{category_id}" dynamic="no"}
                        <li><a href="{url}">{title}</a></li>
        {/exp:channel:entries}
      </ul>
   </li>
{/exp:channel:categories}

Just a couple of simple things to try first, let us know if we need to get more in depth on this.
